锂电池获奖,是对整个行业的肯定与激励

2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Li-ion batteries: A milestone but fresh start

2019年10月9日,瑞典皇家科学院宣布,美国德州大学奥斯汀分校约翰·班宁斯特·古德纳夫(John B.Goodenough)、美国纽约州立大学宾汉姆分校斯坦利·威廷汉(M.Stanley Whittingham)和日本旭化成株式会社吉野彰(Akira Yoshino)三人获得2019年度诺贝尔化学奖,以表彰他们对锂离子电池研发的贡献(for the development of lithium-ion batteries).三位科学家领衔发展的便携式二次电池,开启了电子设备便携化进程,促进了清洁能源的发展,极大地改变了人们的生活方式.此外,97岁的约翰·班宁斯特·古德纳夫教授成为诺贝尔奖历史上最高龄获奖者.诺贝尔化学奖颁给锂电池领域的三位科学家,是对每一位为锂电池从无到有、从实验室走向商业化做出贡献的锂电池从业者的认可,是对仍在从事锂电池研究和志在继续推动清洁、便携社会发展的人的激励.毫无疑问,锂电池已经逐渐深入到社会的方方面面,与你我的生活朝夕相处.

On October 9,2019,the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded jointly to John B.Goodenough of University of Texas at Austin,M.Stanley Whittingham of the State University of New York at Bingham,and Akira Yoshino of Asahi Corporation of Japan for the development of lithium(Li)-ion batteries.It is a recognition for each practitioner who has contributed to the development of Li-ion batteries:proposing the fundamental working mechanism,creating the prototype in laboratory,and achieving the successful commercialization that the Nobel chemistry prize was awarded to three scientists in the field of Li-ion batteries.Moreover,it is also an encouragement for those who are still engaged in the research and development of Li-ion or next-generation batteries and devote to promoting the processes of a clean and wireless society.There is no doubt that Li-ion batteries have gradually touched every aspect of the society and accompany with us in our daily life.
