Fire and explosion hazards represent a major barrier to the widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Although mitigating the flammability of linear organic carbonate electrolytes in LIBs is an obvious solution to the thermal safety issue, i...
