Thermal behavior and microstructures of cathodes for liquid electrolyte-based lithium batteries

Abstract Lithium-ion batteries are widely used as a power source for portable equipment. However, the use of highly flammable organic solvents in the liquid electrolyte component in these batteries presents a serious safety concern. In this study, the thermal stability of battery cathodes comprising...
