Yes, scientific discoveries aren’t inventions, but they aren’t any less significant. You don’t need to downplay his accomplishments.
You say “many many names involved” and put SHARED in upper case but there were only two other that’s shared the Nobel Prize with him, Michael Wittingham and Akira Yoshino.
He was also sole recipient of the National Medal of Science in 2011 among a lot of other awards. He was well respected in his field.
He led a team to patent glass batteries which has the potential to change the world by decreasing the cost of production.
There are many battery researchers whose work basically stops at a research paper. Goodenough research is actually being used in battery construction now and may continue to do so. He also worked with several other battery startups. We have yet to see what they will accomplish off his work.
