The problem of lithium-ion battery safety was recognized even before these batteries were first commercially released in 1991. The two main reasons for lithium-ion battery fires and explosions are related to processes on the negative electrode (anode when discharging, cathode when charging). During a normal battery charge lithium ions intercalate into graphite. However, if the charge is too fast or the temperature is too l
