"Live to 97 and you can do anything, "Goodenough said in a statement. "I'm honored and shocked to win the Nobel Prize.I thank all my friends for the support and assistance throughout my life."

Whittingham developed the first functional (功能性的)lithium-ion battery in the early 1970s but Goodenough was able to double the battery's power in 1980.Five years later,based on the discovery of Goodenough,Yoshino created the first commercial lithium-ion battery-the first one that entered the market in 1991.It changed our lives from then on.It has laid the foundation of a wireless society,and are of the greatest benefit to humankind.
