Former Oxford scientist John Goodenough hopes lithium-ion batteries will be used for “good over evil”
One of the three winners of this year’s Nobel prize for chemistry has said that he hopes the lithium-ion battery he helped to develop will be used for “good and not for evil” as the world prepares for a greener future based on renewable energy.
John Goodenough, a 97-year-old professor, was head of the University of Oxford’s Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory in the 1970s and 1980s.
