Three men who made rechargeable lithium-ion batteries possible have won the 2019 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. One of the scientists is 97-year-old John Goodenough, who became the oldest winner of a Nobel prize. Goodenough is a professor at The University of Texas at Austin. He will share the award with Stanley Whittingham, a professor at the State University of New York at Binghamton, and Akira Yoshino of Japan. Yoshino is a professor with Meijo University and a fellow with the Asahi Kasei Corporation. Sara Snogerup Linse is a member of the Nobel committee for chemistry. She said the three men developed lightweight batteries useful in many applications. Truly portable electronics: mobile phones, pacemakers, but also long-distance electric cars.
