I have read in a literature, that the layered structures like LiCoO2 have some safety concerns like Evolution of oxygen during overcharge when used as cathode in batteries. But the Olivine structures like FePO4 does not have such effects and they are considered to be one of the safest cathode materials for lithium ion batteries. Is it because of potential stability or because of its structure? I am student and I would like to apologize if my question sounds silly.
