The ZERO Institute’s John Goodenough Lecture 2025, with Nobel laureate Sir M. Stanley Whittigham
The first half century of lithium batteries and the challenges facing us in moving forward
The Nobel Prize Committee said of John Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino’s lithium-ion batteries: “They have laid the foundation of a wireless, fossil fuel-free society, and are of the greatest benefit to humankind.” Now the world needs to take action, addressing the key challenge of building a sustainable supply chain and manufacturing capability that leapfrogs present battery technology, to foster sustainable manufacturing and use.
