Future environmental impact assessments should take into account the chemicals and energy consumed during the recycling process. The environmental impact assessment of battery recycling processes is also included in the life cycle assessment of electric vehicles (Yu et al., 2018) and batteries (Liu et al., 2021). Due to the broad life

The life cycle of lithium-ion battery (Fig. 1) defines the complexity in disposition of spent LIBs due to presence of various interim routes like reuse in batteries, use of remanufacturing material in batteries, and regeneration of cathode before recycling for use as battery grade material by stoichiometric additions.A detailed environmental

The major contributors to environmental and health impact start from its raw material production followed by battery production, its distribution, and transportation requirements, uses, charging and maintenance and finally recycling and waste management ().

A life cycle analysis conducted by Peters et al. found that it took 330 kWh and 110 kg CO 2− e [15, 29] to produce 1 kWh of lithium-ion battery storage. Through sustainable recycling technologies, the environmental impact of manufacturing new lithium-ion batteries can be reduced by minimising the extent of natural resource extraction.

Electric vehicle (EV) batteries have lower environmental impacts than traditional internal combustion engines. However, their disposal poses significant environmental concerns due to the presence of toxic materials. Although safer than lead-acid batteries, nickel metal hydride and lithium-ion batteries still present risks to health

The growing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in smartphones, electric vehicles (EVs), and other energy storage devices should be correlated with their environmental impacts from production to usage and recycling. As the use of LIBs grows, so does the number of waste LIBs, demanding a recycling procedure as a sustainable

However, this provides a holistic view of the possible outcomes of recycling, where direct recycling offers the lowest impacts, followed by hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical, reducing GHG emissions by 61, 51, and 17%, respectively, under the Circular Battery Recycling scenario, and 39%, 19%, and 15%, under the European

2. Introduction and Process. EPA hosted a two-part workshop to gather stakeholder perspectives on potential solutions to LIB EOL fires and better understand the current challenges and opportunities to encouraging more LIB reuse and recycling. Each session included presentations and small group discussions.

The ever-increasing battery waste needs to be managed accordingly. Currently, there are no universal or unified standards for waste disposal of LIBs around the globe. Each country uses one or a combination of practices such as landfilling, incineration and full or partial recycling depending on the number of batteries leaving the market, current legislation

Unlike raw material extraction and processing, most environmental impacts during the battery manufacturing process are

When the service life of secondary use is increased from 1 year to 10 years, the environmental benefits of different impact categories will increase by 0.24-4.62 times. For direct recycle scenario, recycling retired LFP batteries can save more than 30% of metal resources. By comparison, we find that recycling lithium nickel manganese

Goal and scope. In this paper, a forecasting model for the battery waste stream from plug-in passenger EVs in the EU is presented. A distribution delay method is used for modelling different use phases during battery lifetime. The model moreover takes into account different End-of-Life (EoL) options for batteries retiring from EV use.

China has recently issued regulatory measures on the recycling and reuse of batteries from electric vehicles—specifically including lithium-ion batteries. This was introduced in August 2018; it mandated strict guidelines on maintenance, collection and transport, as well as reuse and recycling technologies [ 8, 26 ].

The Commission subsequently published in April 2019 a report on the implementation and on the impact on the environment and the functioning of the internal market of the Batteries Directive (2006/66/EC). It also published a report evaluating the Batteries

The focus of the assessment was to analyze major impacts for a passenger battery electric vehicle (BEV) to deliver 120,000 miles considering a ten-year duration on U.S. roadways. Three laminated and eight solid state chemistries using functional unit of 1 Wh of energy storage were compared in the study.

Common answers included keeping LIBs out of the trash/recycling streams, indicating the presence of the battery and identifying the battery type, assisting

China is the largest lead-acid battery (LAB) consumer and recycler, but suffering from lead contamination due to the spent-lead recycling problems. This paper describes a comparative study of five typical LAB recycling processes in China by compiling data about the input materials, energy consumptions, pollution emissions, and final

The objective is to explore how these supporting materials can enhance flexibility and surpass existing energy storage technologies, particularly in the context of lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors. The concluding section addresses the future prospects and challenges in the field.
