Decoding thermal stability
Nature Energy, Published online: 07 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41560-025-01734-8Thermal stability in high-nickel cathodes has been a long-standing concern due to the lack of standardized assessments. Now, research identifies key factors that trigger thermal runaway and introduces a thermal stability index to help guide the development of safer cathodes.
