Akira Yoshino, who was selected as the winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, gave a commemorative lecture called “Nobel Lecture” in Stockholm, Sweden. “Sustainable society is coming soon due to technological innovation. "I will play a role."
The “Nobel Lecture” is one of the traditional events of the Nobel Prize that talks to the public about the path and significance of the research that the winners of the year won.
Mr. Yoshino gave a lecture titled “Development and Future of Lithium Ion Batteries” in front of about 1,000 people in the hall of Stockholm University on the 8th night of Japan time.
Mr. Yoshino said at the beginning that he was excited about the fact that he was awarded as a corporate researcher. It was also a great gift for the family who supported us.
Then, looking back on our own background, I read Faraday's "Snow Candle Science" when I was in elementary school, became interested in science, and after joining Asahi Kasei, I used plastic developed by Nobel Prize-winner Hideki Shirakawa Talked about starting research on batteries.
In addition, we introduced an episode of repeated safety-enhancing experiments in developing lithium-ion batteries, and recalled that “I was convinced that the lithium-ion battery could be put to practical use when it did not ignite even when the prototype battery was shocked.” It was.
Furthermore, as a technology that will lead to the realization of a sustainable society, the video introduced the future vision envisioned by Mr. Yoshino, whose self-driving electric vehicles charged with natural energy have become popular.
Finally, I concluded with a message: “Sustainable societies are coming soon through technological innovation. Batteries will play a central role”.
At the end of the lecture, the three Nobel Prize winners went up to the stage, the venue was wrapped in great applause, and Mr. Yoshino was also smiling.
