Efficient utilization and recycling of power batteries are crucial for mitigating the global resource shortage problem and supply chain risks. Life cycle assessments (LCA) was conducted in our study to assess the environmental impact of the recycling process of ternary lithium battery (NCM) and lithium iron phosphate battery (LFP).
Waste LIBs recycling will prevent adverse environmental impacts like groundwater contamination, soil pollution, and air pollution (Chinyama 2016), but recycling is not entirely safe for the environment. The disposal of different lithium-ion batteries varies depending on their size and type.
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).
Regarding energy storage, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are one of the prominent sources of comprehensive applications and play an ideal role in diminishing fossil fuel-based pollution. The rapid development of LIBs in electrical and electronic devices requires a lot of metal assets, particularly lithium and cobalt (Salakjani et al. 2019).
Although lithium-ion batteries do not affect the environment when they are in use, they do require electricity to charge. The world is majorly dependent on coal-based sources to generate electricity, which can raise the bar for environmental footprint.
Despite the emergence of lithium-oxygen batteries, sodium-ion batteries, Zn-ion batteries, and other innovative battery technologies, lithium-ion batteries remain the preferred option for electric vehicle energy storage owing to their superior energy density and long-lasting cycle life (Wang et al., 2024; Zhou et al., 2024; ZilinHu et al., 2023).
