Te recomiendo leer mi última contribución “Recent advances in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries,» Mapping Ignorance, 02 Sep 2015, cuyo primer párrafo (en inglés) dice: «Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles since their introduction by Sony in 1991. Safety is an important concern since about two billion cells are produced every year but with a one-in-200,000 failure rate. Excessive temperature variations and high temperatures over the melting point of the metallic lithium can cause a thermal runaway reaction that ignites a fire and consequently cause a violent explosion. To avoid the inherent instability of lithium metal, non-metallic lithium batteries are preferred, but at the price of a lower energy density. However, in some cases Li dendrites form, leading to severe short circuiting. Hitoshi Maruyama, from University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan, and colleagues have proposed a new anode material that minimizes dendritic Li formation; concretely, they have suggested the use of three-dimensional amorphous silicon polymers poly(methylsilyne) and poly(phenylsilyne) for the anode. Both exhibit an excellent performance in thermal-abuse tests.»
