Nobel Prize-winning battery pioneer John Goodenough dies at 100.

John Goodenough, the materials scientist who led the development of lithium-ion batteries, has died at the age of 100. His work revolutionized handheld electronics and electric vehicles. Goodenough was awarded a share of the 2019 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his contributions to the development of lithium-ion batteries. He discovered that a cathode made of cobalt oxide could achieve a high density of stored energy with an anode other than metallic lithium. Goodenough received many other awards including the Japan Prize in 2001, the Enrico Fermi Award (2009) and the US National Medal of Science (2011).

Lithium-Ion Battery Pioneer John Goodenough Dies at 100

Dr. John B. Goodenough, the creator of the lithium-ion battery, passed away at the age of 100. Goodenough, along with Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino, was awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2019 for their contributions to the development of lithium-ion batteries. Despite the widespread use of the battery, Goodenough signed away most of his rights and cared little for money. UT Austin President Jay Hartzell praised Goodenough's legacy as a brilliant scientist who improved the lives of billions of people around the world.

Nobel Prize-winning Lithium-Ion Battery Creator John Goodenough Passes Away at 100

Dr. John Goodenough, widely credited as the creator of the lithium-ion battery, has died at the age of 100. Goodenough achieved a major breakthrough in 1980 while at the University of Oxford, making a cathode with layers of lithium and cobalt oxide that produced a stronger voltage while greatly improving safety. His work enabled the development of cellphones, laptops, and electric vehicles. Goodenough received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2019 and his legacy will likely be felt for years to come.
