The founder of the Lithium Ion battery

Hi everbody,
below are two short articles on the founder/ inventor of the Lithium Ion battery.
Our share prices and those of all mining companies who have discovered lithium anywhere
owe a great debt of gratitude to this man.  Let alone all KDR shareholders.

John Goodenough, whose work led to the lithium-ion battery


BBC  ONLINE  SAT  OCT  15  2016  
Professor John Goodenough's work led to the invention of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which is part of almost every portable electronic device.
Now 94-years-old and professor of engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, Goodenough talks to the Today programme's John Humphrys about Samsung's problems with batteries catching fire, why he has never won a Nobel Prize and why he dislikes the mobile phone.

John Bannister Goodenough (born 25 July 1922 in Jena, Germany) is an American professor and prominent solid-state physicist. He is currently a professor of mechanical engineering and materials science at The University of Texas at Austin. He is widely credited for the identification and development of the Li-ion rechargeable battery as well as for developing the Goodenough-Kanamori rules for determining the sign of the magnetic superexchange in materials. In 2014 he received the Charles Stark Draper Prize for his contributions to the lithium-ion battery.^[2]
