The need for this study stems from Charge CCCV LLC (C4V), a knowledge company specializing in lithium (Li)-ion batteries, and its desire to assess the environmental impacts of the battery production to identifyopportunities for minimizing those effects.
Learn MorePEO polymeric electrolytes and inorganic sulfide glass electrolytes have been used in all solid-state batteries for the Li-S. Tao et al. (2017) reported a battery capacity of 900 mAh g−1 with a high cycle stability and coulombic efficiency for Li-S batteries utilizing a composite electrolyte of PEO/LLZO .
New batteries having potentially high energy density and higher safety with lower cost are in particular ideal candidates for mobility applications. At present especially, lithium-ion batteries are used, but they are facing challenges regarding sustainability and safety issues, which can be quantitatively analyzed with Life Cycle Assessments (LCA).
Deng et al. (2017) evaluated life cycle global warming potential impacts for lithium sulfur batteries, which are 0.17 kg of CO 2 /Wh of cell energy storage. In relation to that emerging solid-state batteries have comparatively higher environmental impacts due to low TRL stages comparing with the existing batteries . 4. Discussion
Compared to alternative recycling methods, pyrometallurgical recycling of lithium-ion batteries recovers metals (62% Co and 96% Ni), produces large quantities of non -recyclable aluminum and lithium in slag after the smelting process, and also uses expensive reducing agents (Tao et al. 2021).
By providing a nuanced understanding of the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of lithium-based batteries, the framework guides policymakers, manufacturers, and consumers toward more informed and sustainable choices in battery production, utilization, and end-of-life management.
Additionally, the scale of battery production and applied impact assessment methodology makes comparability even more challenging. Troy et al. (2016) uses ILCD method, Lastoskie and Dai (2015) uses ReCiPe Midpoint (H) v1.13 and cumulative energy demand and Vandepaer et al. (2017) uses IMPACT 2002+ and TRACI method as indicated in Table 1.
