Donald Sadoway Biography
Donald R. Sadoway is an electrochemist and Professor of Materials Chemistry Emeritus in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sadoway completed undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Toronto, earning a doctorate in chemical metallurgy before joining the MIT faculty. His research focuses on the scientific foundations of technologies that enable efficient energy use and sustainable resource management. Sadoway has authored more than 180 scientific papers and holds 35 U.S. patents, with work directed toward batteries for grid-scale energy storage, electric vehicles, and environmentally responsible metals extraction.
Sadoway invented the liquid metal battery for large-scale stationary storage and developed molten oxide electrolysis for carbon-free metals production. The liquid metal battery, created at MIT, delivers high power capability, long service life, and low cost without fire risk. These batteries are designed for a lifespan exceeding 20 years, maintain 99 percent capacity over 5,000 charging cycles, and contain no combustible materials. Sadoway is also recognized for expertise in metal extraction from ores and for inventing molten oxide electrolysis, a process with the potential to produce crude steel without carbon reductant, eliminating greenhouse gas emissions. He is the founder of six companies: Ambri, Boston Metal, Lunar Resources, Avanti Battery, Pure Lithium, and Sadoway Labs.
Sadoway's innovations have been recognized with several honors in science and engineering. He received the European Inventor Award in the category for Non-European Patent Office Countries for work on liquid metal batteries supporting renewable energy storage. Time magazine named him one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" for the invention of the liquid metal battery. The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society established the Sadoway Award for Materials Innovation and Advocacy to recognize outstanding achievements in materials science. Additional honors include the Norm Augustine Award for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Communications and the Bose Award for Teaching in the School of Engineering at MIT.
Sadoway is also known for public science communication. His TED talk, viewed more than 2.4 million times, addresses both technology invention and the development of future innovators. He appeared on "The Colbert Report" to discuss liquid metal battery technology and the role of electrochemistry in advancing renewable energy and reducing reliance on petroleum. Sadoway taught MIT's Introduction to Solid-State Chemistry for 16 years, with lectures noted for integrating references to music, art, and literature. Bill Gates described Sadoway's chemistry lessons as the best available, and later invested in Ambri, the liquid metal battery company founded by Sadoway.
