As the lithium-ion batteries that currently power most phones, laptops, and electric vehicles become increasingly fast-charging and high-performing, they also grow increasingly expensive and flammable. Moreover, the battery could be cycled at high rates; increasing the charge/discharge rate by an order of magnitude (0.5C–5C)
