John Goodenough, Nobel laureate and inventor of the lithium-ion battery, dies at the age of 100

New York: John B. Goodenough, the inventor of the lithium-ion battery, died at the age of 100 in Austin, Texas. Goodenough’s death has been announced by the University of Texas. He took his last breath on Sunday. John Goodenough has created the most efficient Lithium Ion battery in modern life. This battery is used in many things from your mobile and laptop. Due to this battery, dependence on fossil fuel has reduced.

According to the New York Times, Goodenough made a major contribution to the development of the world. Today, because of them, lithium-ion batteries are needed to recharge devices ranging from cellphones, computers and pacemakers to electric cars. Goodenough was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2019. On his contribution, Goodenough said, “We never thought it would revolutionize electronics and everything else.”

Titan Submarine: Many international agencies got involved in the investigation of Titan submarine accident, will the real reason for the blast come to the fore?

Goodenough was a professor of engineering at the University of Texas. John Goodenough discovered materials that could work even at higher voltages. More energy can be stored in those materials. John Goodenough invented the lightweight lithium battery in the 90s itself. Before this, there was a lot of problem of swelling and damage of batteries. After the discovery of John Goodenough, there were revolutionary changes in the field of battery. More powerful and smaller sized batteries were developed, which used to last longer. According to experts, this is his biggest achievement.
