By coating the iron sulfide cathodes in polymers, a research team was able to create transition-metal sulfide-based lithium batteries with stable cycling and high safety. After 300 cycles, a lithium carbide iron disulfide pouch cell retained 72.0% capacity with no capacity degradation after 100 cycles.

    But, do they cause a runaway thermal reaction if pierced?

      One of the fabricated battery pouch cells was even able to work after being folded and cut off. “That proves its high safety for practical application,” the researchers emphasized.

      If you can cut it in half and it still works I doubt piercing it will do much.

        Oh, oh god. I know exactly how I reasoned that.

        Slashing damage is different than piercing damage in the games I play. For whatever reason I ignored the context.
