🌟 2019諾貝爾獎化學獎 🌟
Announcement of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2019
🎉
美國物理學者 John B. Goodenough (97歲)
英國化學家M. Stanley Whittingham(77歲)
日本化學家Akira Yoshino (71歲)
🌠得獎理由：鋰離子電池發展的貢獻
“for the development of lithium-ion batteries.”
－－－－－－
表揚三人對於鋰離子電池發展的貢獻，鋰離子電池革命性地改變了人類生活，從手機、筆記型電腦等眾多無線電子設備無處不在，為邁向零化石燃料的世界奠定基石。
Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionised our lives and are used in everything from mobile phones to laptops and electric vehicles. Through their work, this year’s Chemistry Laureates have laid the foundation of a wireless, fossil fuel-free society.

Yoshino成功從電池中消除純鋰，而全然使用鋰離子，比起純鋰電池來得更安全，使電池實際應用更可行。
1970年代，Whittingham 早已使用鋰強大的驅動力以釋放外層電子，發展出第一個可實際使用的鋰電池。
高齡97歲的Goodenough 是近代鋰電池發明人之一，他增強鋰電池的電壓至4伏特，為強而有勁的電池設計出對的條件。
This year’s #NobelPrize laureate Akira Yoshino succeeded in eliminating pure lithium from the battery, instead basing it wholly on lithium ions, which are safer than pure lithium. This made the battery workable in practice.
In the early 1970s, Stanley Whittingham, awarded this year’s Chemistry Prize, used lithium’s enormous drive to release its outer electron when he developed the first functional lithium battery.
Goodenough doubled the lithium battery’s potential, creating the right conditions for a vastly more powerful and useful battery.
