本文为日本锂电大牛Akira Yoshino为德国应用化学（Angewandte Chemie）撰写的一篇Essay，主题是锂电池诞生的背景以及以LiCoO2为代表的锂电池的发展，可以作为科研生活的休闲文献，对锂电的入门者也会有一定的启发作用。
摘要：
The moment of truth: The lithium-ion battery is currently the predominant power source for mobile phones, laptop computers, and many other portable electronic devices, and is being used increasingly in electric vehicles. Its inventor, A. Yoshino, describes the process by which the lithium-ion battery was first developed (picture shows the first test-tube cell) and made commercially practical. Successful safety tests marked the turning point in this work.
作者简介：
Dr. Akira Yoshino was born in Suita, Osaka, Japan in 1948 and earned an MS in engineering in 1972 from the Department of Petroleum Chemistry at Kyoto University. In 1972, he joined the research division of Asahi Kasei Corporation, Kanagawa, Japan, where he conducted research on functional polymers and electronic materials. In 1981 he started research on secondary batteries. In 1985 he invented a new battery system C/LiCoO2, later named the lithium-ion battery. He also developed electrode fabrication methods using metal-foil current collectors as well as polyethylene separators, carbonate electrolytes, safety devices, and charging methods. He is now an Asahi Kasei Fellow and also serves as Adjunct Professor at Kyoto University.[ 来自科研家族 新能源家族 ]
