The 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to John B. Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham, and Akira Yosino for their work in the development of lithium-ion batteries. Science Focus has a good summary of the story here:

Lithium-ion batteries have become an integral part of our modern day to day lives, powering our cell-phones, laptops and other devices. For myself, the combination of solar plus lithium storage means that since last spring I have been able to keep my phone, tablet, computer and ebike fully charged without ever having to plug into the wall.
