锂电诺奖与科学精神

2019年诺贝尔化学奖授予了约翰·古迪纳夫、斯坦利·惠廷厄姆和吉野彰三位科学家,以表彰他们在锂离子电池领域做出的重要贡献。经过40余年的发展,锂离子电池已经被广泛应用于人类生产、生活的方方面面,这离不开全世界千千万万科技工作者的创造、探索和实践。本文结合此次锂电诺奖特别是古迪纳夫教授的故事,阐述创新、求实、交叉、合作的科学精神及其对科学研究和人才培养的重要性。

Nobel Prize for Lithium-Ion Battery and the Scientific Spirit

The 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was rewarded to three scientists, John B. Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino, for their great contribution in the field of lithium-ion batteries. After more than 40 years' development, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in our daily life, which is inseparable from the creation, exploration and hard work of millions of scientists all over the world. This paper expatiates the scientific spirit of innovation, pragmatism, interdiscipline and cooperation, and demonstrates the importance for scientific research as well as talents cultivation from the views of the stories of the Nobel laureates especially of Professor Goodenough.
