He figured out how to make lithium stick and unstick inside a solid electrode without destroying it — the intercalation chemistry that lets your phone charge a thousand times. That 1970s insight earned him a Nobel and the title "founding father of lithium-ion batteries."
About
M. Stanley Whittingham was born 22 December 1941 and became a British-American chemist working at the intersection of materials and energy. In the 1970s, while at Exxon, he discovered intercalation electrodes — a way for lithium ions to slip in and out of layered materials reversibly — and described the reactions that would define rechargeable battery chemistry for decades. He patented the first rechargeable lithium metal battery in 1977, built on a LiAl anode and a TiS2 cathode, intended for small devices and electric vehicles. The work didn't commercialize then, but it laid the technical fou…
