Copper in Lithium cells could bring a safer battery

Science bods have come up with the solution to stop mobile phone and tablet batteries exploding, a solution which could stop ecigs going the same way too.

The lithium ion batteries consist of three different parts: a positive lithium electrode, a carbon negative electrode, and the separation between the two which allows devices to both charge and discharge. If the positive electrode touches the negative electrode, an explosion could result. These explosions, however, are extremely rare.
