Lithium-based batteries are essential because of their increasing importance across several industries, particularly when it comes to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Sustainable batteries throughout their entire life cycle represent a key enabling technology for the zero pollution objectives of the European Green Deal.
The sustainability of lithium-based batteries can vary significantly based on temporal and geographical contexts due to differences in energy mixes, technological advancements, and regulatory environments. The review might not be easily generalizable across different regions and time periods.
According to Table 1, there are different Li-based batteries, including Li-ion, Li-metal, Li-air, Li-polymer, and Li-S. Li-ion batteries are one of the most popular forms of energy storage commercialized due to their longer cycle life. Table 1. Main types and structures of Li-based rechargeable batteries.
Life Cycle Inventory: LCI for Li-based batteries entails gathering information on the resources including raw materials, energy, and water used in the manufacturing process, as well as the emissions and waste produced throughout each stage of the life cycle, which includes the extraction of raw materials, production, use, and disposal.
With the advantages of renewability, low cost, and high capacity, organic-electrode lithium-ion batteries are expected to be a very promising candidate for the energy-storage system.
Despite the large potential, there is still significant uncertainty regarding the role of longer-duration storage, and the possible technologies that can compete with Li-ion batteries in a shift toward longer durations.
