Father of lithium batteries becomes oldest winner of Nobel Prize: 97 years old, wheelchair present

The 2019 Nobel Prize Ceremony was held in Sweden on December 10th.

In a moving scene, John B. Goodenough, 97, came to the stage in a wheelchair to receive the chemistry prize.

Gudinev surpassed Arthur Ashkin, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics last year at the age of 96, setting a new record for the oldest age of a Nobel Prize winner, a belated top honor.

It is reported that Gudinav is recognized as the father of lithium batteries, and it was he who invented lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate, lithium iron phosphate anode materials, and discovered the Gudinav-Goldson law, which is used to determine the magnetic sign of super-exchange (superexchange) materials.

In 1991, Sony produced the world's first commercial lithium battery based on Gudinave's theory. This time, and Gudinov shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the United States, Binghamton University, M. Stanley Wittingham and Japan's Asahi Kasei Group researcher, Meijo University Professor Akira Yoshino, Wittingham is known as the father of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, Akira Yoshino in 1983, the use of lithium cobalt cathode and polyacetylene anode to produce the world's first prototype of a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
