Dr. Lonnie Johnson has dedicated the past 25 years to investigating new energy conversion and storage technologies through his research company, Johnson R&D. He holds over 100 patents, many of them related to energy storage. After years of extensive research, he created a glass electrolyte separator that is stable with both lithium metal anode and cathode materials, enabling the construction of a true all-solid-state battery. Johnson Energy Storage (JES) was spun out of Johnson R&D to commercialize this technology.
