Abstract: Lithium-ion batteries play a crucial role in human production and daily life. This article employs an anthropomorphic approach, casting lithium ions as Xiao Li, to vividly illustrate the working principles of lithium batteries, the structural characteristics of active materials, and the causes and solutions for safety risks encountered during battery use.

Key words: Lithium-ion batteries, Electrode materials, Lithium dendrites, Safety risks, Popularization of science
