That's an interesting comment that might explain why we are using lithium instead of some other metal. Do you have a reference that discusses this?

Last time I looked what I read was lithium doesn't change size when it gains or loses and electron. Other metals the ions change size which damages the electrodes.

Heard that from an energy consultant, Jean Marc Jancovici, in his numerous interventions and conferences.
