Lithium-ion batteries tend to have higher energy density and thus offer greater battery capacity than lead-acid batteries of similar sizes. A lead-acid battery might have a 30-40 watt-hours capacity per kilogram (Wh/kg), whereas a lithium-ion battery could have a 150-200 Wh/kg capacity. Energy Density or Specific Energy:
The sensitivity analysis shows that the use-phase environmental impact decreases with an increase in renewable energy contribution in the use phase. The lithium-ion batteries have fewer environmental impacts than lead-acid batteries for the observed environmental impact categories.
The LIB outperform the lead-acid batteries. Specifically, the NCA battery chemistry has the lowest climate change potential. The main reasons for this are that the LIB has a higher energy density and a longer lifetime, which means that fewer battery cells are required for the same energy demand as lead-acid batteries. Fig. 4.
Finally, for the minerals and metals resource use category, the lithium iron phosphate battery (LFP) is the best performer, 94% less than lead-acid. So, in general, the LIB are determined to be superior to the lead-acid batteries in terms of the chosen cradle-to-grave environmental impact categories.
Life cycle assessment of lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries is performed. Three lithium-ion battery chemistries (NCA, NMC, and LFP) are analysed. NCA battery performs better for climate change and resource utilisation. NMC battery is good in terms of acidification potential and particular matter.
In general, lead-acid batteries generate more impact due to their lower energy density, which means a higher number of lead-acid batteries are required than LIB when they supply the same demand. Among the LIB, the LFP chemistry performs worse in all impact categories except minerals and metals resource use.
