This work demonstrates that there is an impact on safety response with nanoscale silicon materials compared to graphite based anodes. Additionally, there appears to be a fundamental difference in abuse response based on more than just silicon content, particle size, and state of charge for the electrodes. Control of surface reactivity is essential to both control response homogeneity (for quantification) and understand the mechanisms during abuse conditions with silicon anodes.
