At present, three Nobel Prizes in Science have been released, and the results of the Chemistry Prize are the most grounded.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was announced.
Alfred Bernhard Nobel, who founded the Nobel Prize, is also a chemist. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was established to reward people who have made important discoveries and improvements in chemistry, as well as the physical prizes decided by the Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm.
Beijing time on the afternoon of October 9, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to John B. Goodenough and M. Stanley Whittingham. ) and Akira Yoshino in recognition of their contribution to the development of lithium-ion batteries. Their work has created conditions for the formation of today’s wireless, non-fossil fuel society, and brought great benefits to mankind.
The three Nobel Prize winners are honored as the father of lithium batteries. Based on the results of the three studies, Sony produced the world’s first commercial lithium battery in 1991 based on its theory. It has completely changed the consumer electronics industry for more than a decade, and has also applied new energy vehicles in recent years.
Lithium batteries are divided into two types: one is a lithium metal battery, which was first proposed and studied by Gilbert N. Lewis in 1912. Another lithium-ion battery was first proposed and studied by Whitingham in the 1970s. Lithium batteries, which are commonly referred to today, are basically lithium-ion batteries. The contributions of the three Nobel Prize winners this year are also in this field.
Whitingham was born in the United Kingdom in 1941 and invented lithium-ion batteries when he worked for Exxon in the 1970s. He used titanium sulfide as the positive electrode material and lithium metal as the negative electrode material to make the first lithium ion battery.
After that, Gudinaf invented lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate and lithium iron phosphate cathode materials, and he said in the awards that he “doubled the potential of lithium batteries.” It’s worth mentioning that Gudinav also created a new record – he was born in Jena, Germany in 1992, and he is 97 years old this year, creating a promise The winner’s aging record. Previously, the highest record appeared in 2018,American scientistArthur Askin won the award at the age of 96.
Yoshino Akira’s 1948 birthday, as a researcher at Asahi Kasei Corporation, and director of the Yoshino Research Office of Asahi Kasei Corporation. In 1983, he developed lithium cathodes using lithium cobalt oxide and developed anodes using polyacetylene. In 1983, he produced the world’s first rechargeable lithium ion.The prototype of the battery. The complete elimination of lithium metal in 1985 is based entirely on lithium ions, which makes the use of batteries safer and more feasible. At this point, the commercialization of lithium-ion batteries has laid the foundation.
At present, the three Nobel Prizes in Science have been released, and the results of the Chemistry Prize are the most grounded.
The result of this year’s Physiology or Medicine Award is the mechanism by which cells detect and respond to low oxygen levels. The research is still in the early stages of the laboratory, and the physics award rewards the contributions of theoretical cosmology and the discovery of extrasolar planets. Very far away from the lives of ordinary people. However, the results of the Chemistry Prize have long been commercialized on a large scale, changing the technology industry and modern business. It is also very common in daily life, and can be seen from mobile phones, PCs and even new energy vehicles.
Among the three science awards, the Chemistry Prize is the most impure, and many scientists have dubbed the Nobel Prize for Comprehensive Science. According to statistics, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry is often awarded to achievements in biology. More than a dozen physicists have ever won this award, and even mathematicians have won this honor. The 1998 Chemistry Prize was presented to American physicist Walter Cohen and British mathematician John Pope for their significant achievements in the intersection and integration of mathematics, physics and chemistry.
There are still three awards to be issued: the literary prize, no earlier than October 10th at 7:00 pm; the peace prize, no earlier than 5:00 pm on October 11; economics award, not early On October 14th at 5:45 pm.
