John B. Goodenough Award

John B. Goodenough Award
Awarded for	Contributions to materials chemistry
Sponsored by	Royal Society of Chemistry
Date	2008 (2008)
Country	United Kingdom (international)
Formerly called	Materials Chemistry Forum Lifetime Award

The John B. Goodenough Award is run biennially by the Royal Society of Chemistry and awards contributions to the field of materials chemistry. The prize winner, chosen by the Materials Chemistry Division Awards Committee, receives a monetary reward, a medal, a certificate and completes a UK lecture tour.

Award history

The award, which was originally referred to as the Materials Chemistry Forum Lifetime Award, was set up in 2008. It was named after the materials scientist John Bannister Goodenough, who has made significant contributions to the development of the first random access memory and in the field of Li-ion rechargeable batteries.
