About Groundbreaking Discovery

Reports suggest that Whittingham developed first functional lithium battery in early 1970 but it was Goodeugh who mand to double battery's potential in 1980 by using Lithium, cobalt oxide as cathode of lithium-ion battery. And by using Goodeugh's cathode as a premise, Yoshi developed first commercial lithium-ion battery. 

bel Foundation said that Lithium-ion batteries have changed way we live our lives since y first entered market in 1991 and that it laid foundation for wireless, fossil-fuel-free society and are of greatest benefit to mankind. From laptops to smart devices lithium-ion batteries serve as power source for some commonly used devices. Goodeugh reportedly has said that he is extremely happy with lithium-ion batteries, which have helped communications across world and that people use this for good and t evil.
