John B. Goodenough won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2019 with Stanley Wittingham and Akira Yoshino for their fundamental contributions to the development of lithium-ion batteries. Calls for recognition for John’s pioneering work on lithium-ion batteries had been launched at the Nobel Committee for many years and finally the calls were answered! This was wonderful, though long overdue, news for the communities of solid-state chemistry and materials sciences. John impacted these areas of research greatly via his constant desire to account for the physical properties of solids through the discussion of their local crystal structures and their chemical bonding. Let us notice that, on this special occasion, John also set the record for being the oldest person, at 97, to receive this prestigious honor!< Réduire
