Batteries are one of the key technologies of the next decades. Since their market launch in 1991, lithium-ion batteries have paved the way for the consumer electronics revolution, and not just because of their small size and light weight. They are also in the process of enabling electrically powered mobility and transportation.

Batteries are not developed overnight. The development cycles for innovative batteries and new cell concepts often take several years or even decades. The interdisciplinary interaction between cell chemistry and constructive engineering is crucial. The invention of the lithium-ion battery proves this very impressively.
In the 1970s, Stanley Whittingham researched a promising cathode material for lithium batteries. This can absorb lithium ions in its atomic spaces. In the period from 1977 to 1979, small batteries with a lithium alloy were produced for watches.
A research group led by John B. Goodenough at the University of Oxford discovered the electrode material lithium cobalt dioxide in 1980. The Japanese engineer Akira Yoshino built on Goodenough's cathode concept in 1985 and now used petroleum coke, a carbon, for the anode instead of metallic lithium. Its battery was much lighter and more durable.
The first commercially available lithium-ion battery was finally brought onto the market by Sony in 1991 and used in the CCD TR 1 video camera. To date, batteries of this type are sold and used in a wide variety of devices.
Whittingham, Goodenough and Yoshino jointly received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2019 for developing the lithium-ion battery. When Whittingham heard of his honor, he was at a battery conference in Ulm. Within a few hours, the international press crowded into the Ulmer Maritim Hotel. Mayor Gunter Czisch spontaneously awarded Whittingham the Einstein Medal of the City of Ulm.
