Great chart! In the energy world we talk high heat value and low heat value. Anthracite vs. Bituminous is very interesting comparison. I wonder where coke (almost pure carbon) is on that chart. Polycarb also burns much differently than the polymers listed, but you get the idea. Of course this has little to do with the stability of the storage device. Some Li-ions have the explosive capacity greater than TNT.

I’m more familiar with ordinary li-poly cells which burn rapidly but do not explode, although it may appear that way to someone surprised when one lights off. Most consumer li-ions are quite resistant to rapid oxidation events.

I’m still looking up the ED of ANFO and smokeless powder.
