The Swedish Academy of Sciences at 16h50, October 9 (Hanoi time) announced the owners of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, honoring three scientists John B. Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshin o with contributions in developing lithium-ion batteries . The researchers will share a prize worth more than $ 900,000.
Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized modern life. It is used in everything from cell phones, laptops to electric vehicles. This year's award-winning scientists laid the foundations for a wireless, fossil fuel-free society.
Lithium ion is the first lightweight battery, enabling the introduction of compact electronic devices such as mobile phones or pacemakers. All three scientists play an important role in the development of lithium ion batteries.

In the early 1970s, when developing the first lithium battery, Professor Stanley Whittingham at Birmingham University took advantage of the enormous energy of lithium to release the outer layer electron.
Professor John Goodenough at the University of Texas has found a way to double the voltage of lithium batteries, creating a much more powerful and useful battery. Professor Akira Yoshino at Meijo University succeeds in removing pure lithium from batteries and relies entirely on lithium ions more safely than pure lithium. This makes the battery easier to use in practice.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry is the third prize to be published after the Nobel Prize in Biomedical and Physics. On October 10, 11 and 14, the Nobel Committee will in turn announce the owners of the remaining prizes in the fields of Literature, Peace and Economics.
In 2018, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry honors Professor Frances Arnold (USA), along with scientists George Smith (USA) and Gregory Winter (UK) for their work on evolutionary control, transformation and Genetic selection, allowing the development of new proteins and antibodies, can be applied in biofuel production and pharmaceuticals to help reduce disease and save the lives of many patients.
