Batteries should not burst into flames
With a lithium-metal anode, the battery would be doing the thing avoided in normal lithium-ion batteries: making metallic lithium during its recharge. That''s not a smooth process. Instead of forming a nice flat surface, the new metal takes on interesting shapes — mossy structures called dendrites. Those dendrites can pose dangers.
