‘HOT’ article: testing the thermal stability of lithiated graphite
In this paper the kinetics of solid–electrolyte interface were successfully correlated to the safety of lithium-ion batteries using graphite anodes.
The results revealed that the thermal decomposition of the solid–electrolyte interface is the most easily triggered chemical reaction in lithium-ion cells and plays a critical role in determining the battery safety.
