Election Remark
John Bannister Goodenough (/ˈɡʊdɪnʌf/ GUUD-in-uf;([3]) July 25, 1922 – June 25, 2023) was an American materials scientist, a solid-state physicist, and a Nobel laureate in chemistry.

From 1996 he was a professor of Mechanical,([4]) Materials Science, and Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.

He is credited with identifying the Goodenough–Kanamori rules of the sign of the magnetic superexchange in materials, with developing materials for computer random-access memory and with inventing cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
 
John B. Goodenough interconnects Anode, Chemical engineering and Conductivity in the investigation of issues within Electrolyte.

His study brings together the fields of Cathode and Anode. His studies in Cathode integrate themes in fields like Battery and Sodium.
 
His primary scientific interests are in Inorganic chemistry, Lithium, Electrolyte, Anode and Battery.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Oxide, Perovskite, Electrochemistry, Electrode and Analytical chemistry. John B. Goodenough usually deals with Lithium and limits it to topics linked to Crystallography and Inorganic compound and Superconductivity.

He was elected as member of the Euorpean Academy of Engineering in 2004.
 
2019 - Nobel Prize for the development of lithium-ion batteries
2018 - Benjamin Franklin Medal, Franklin Institute
2017 - Welch Award in Chemistry, Robert A. Welch Foundation
2016 - Fellow, National Academy of Inventors
2012 - Member of the National Academy of Sciences
2011 - US President's National Medal of Science "For groundbreaking cathode research that led to the first commercial lithium ion battery, which has since revolutionized consumer electronics with technical applications for portable and stationary power.", President Barack H. Obama in the East Room of the White House on February 1, 2013.
2010 - Fellow of the Royal Society, United Kingdom
