Enhanced thermal safety and high power performance of carbon-coated LiFePO4 olivine cathode for Li-ion batteries

► Safety of C-LiFePO4, LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2, LiNi0.33Co0.33Mn0.33O2 and LiCoO2 are reported. ► Crush, nail penetration, short circuit tests are reported in video and discussed. ► Ni and Al doping did not improve the thermal stability of the lamellar compounds.
