Lithium-ion batteries: Runaway risk of forming toxic compounds
Lithium-ion batteries are stabilized by an ultrathin protective film that is 10-50 nanometres thick and coats both electrodes. Here we artifically simulate the ''thermal-runaway'' conditions that would arise should this coating be destroyed, which could happen in a battery large enough to overheat beyond 80 °C. We find that under these conditions the reaction of the …

8.3: Electrochemistry
A watch battery, coin or button cell (Figure (PageIndex{7})) is a small single cell battery shaped as a squat cylinder typically 5 to 25 mm (0.197 to 0.984 in) in diameter and 1 to 6 mm (0.039 to 0.236 in) high — like a button on a garment, hence the name. A metal can forms the bottom body and positive terminal of the cell.
