2019诺贝尔化学奖揭晓 97岁获奖者“棒约翰”火了

校方在资讯稿中说，正是在牛津大学期间，古迪纳夫取得了突破性的发现，帮助他获得了诺贝尔奖。

Whittingham developed the first functional lithium battery in the early 1970s, but Goodenough was able to double the battery's potential in 1980 by using lithium cobalt oxide as the cathode of a lithium-ion battery, the foundation said. Using Goodenough's cathode as a basis, Yoshino created the first commercially viable lithium-ion battery five years later.

诺贝尔奖基金会称，惠廷汉姆在20世纪70年代初发明了第一块功能性锂电池，但是古迪纳夫在1980年使用钴酸锂作为锂离子电池的正极，使电池的电势翻了一番。五年后，吉野彰以古迪纳夫的发明为基础，制造出了第一块具有商业可行性的锂离子电池。

cathode [ˈkæθəʊd]：n.正极（在电池中，阴极相当于正极）

"Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionised our lives since they first entered the market in 1991," the Nobel Foundation said in a statement. "They have laid the foundation of a wireless, fossil fuel-free society, and are of the greatest benefit to humankind."

该基金会在一份声明中说：“自1991年首次进入市场以来，锂离子电池已经彻底改变了我们的生活，为无线、无化石燃料的社会奠定了基础，人们获益匪浅。”

Lithium-ion batteries have long been tipped for the award, not least since they have proved pivotal in the development of the high-tech world we inhabit.
