These lightweight rechargeable power packs have fueled the boom in mobile electronics and are already yielding environmental dividends by enabling the development of long-range electric vehicles and efficient storage of energy from renewable sources.
Dr. Yoshino invented and patented the world’s first lithium-ion battery and has since worked continuously to improve the technology. He has secured over 60 patents on lithium-ion battery technology during his career. Dr. Yoshino talks about the challenges he overcame indeveloping lithium-ion batteries and the role that strategic use of patents rights has played in building a booming global market for them. | Del av verk: | WIPO Magazine 3/2020 |
