Akira Yoshino developed the first commercially viable lithium-ion battery.
As a young boy, Yoshino discovered chemistry after reading the book 'The Chemical History of a Candle' by Michael Faraday. Although he first dreamed about becoming an archaeologist, luckily for us he went into chemistry and developed lithium-ion batteries.
Yoshino shared the 2019 Chemistry Prize with Stanley Whittingham and John Goodenough for their research on lithium-ion batteries.
