M Stanley Whittingham Totally Explained

Everything about M Stanley Whittingham totally explained

M. Stanley Whittingham (born Michael Stanley Whittingham, 1941) is an American chemist. He is currently a professor of chemistry and director of both the Institute for Materials Research and the Materials Science and Engineering program at Binghamton University, a part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system.

Education and career

Whittingham read Chemistry at the University of Oxford, where he took his BA (1964), MA (1967), and DPhil (1968).
After completing his graduate studies, Dr. Whittingham was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University until 1972. He then worked for Exxon Research & Engineering Company from 1972 until 1984. He then spent four years working for Schlumberger prior to becoming a professor at Binghamton University. He also served as Vice-Chair of the Research Foundation of the State University of New York for six years.

Research

Dr. Whittingham is a key figure in the history of the development of rechargeable batteries discovering the concept of intercalation electrodes. Exxon commercialized the first rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which was based on a titanium disulfide cathode and a lithium-aluminum anode. He developed the hydrothermal synthesis technique for making cathode materials, which is now being used commercially for the manufacture of lithium iron phosphate by Phostech/Sud-Chimie in Montreal, Canada.
He received the Young Author Award from the Electrochemical Society in 1971, the Battery Research Award in 2004, and was elected a Fellow in 2006 for his contributions to lithium battery science and technology.
