Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, John B. Goodenough, Koichi Mizushima, Philip C. Jones, and 1 other

This blue commemorative plaque records: Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory where in 1980, John B. Goodenough with Koichi Mizushima, Philip C. Jones and Philip J. Wiseman identified the cathode material that enabled the development of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This breakthrough ushered in the age of the portable electronic devices. Recorded plaque organisation: Royal Society of Chemistry.

John B. Goodenough, along with Koichi Mizushima, Philip C. Jones, and Philip J. Wiseman, conducted pioneering research at the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory leading to the discovery of cathode materials essential for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, revolutionizing portable electronics technology.
