"Recycling a lithium-ion battery consumes more energy and resources than producing a new battery, explaining why only a small amount of lithium-ion batteries are recycled," says Aqsa Nazir, a postdoctoral research scholar at Florida International University's battery research laboratory.
Though battery research tends to focus on cathode chemistries, anodes are also in line to get a makeover. Most anodes in lithium-ion batteries today, whatever their cathode makeup, use graphite to hold the lithium ions. But alternatives like silicon could help increase energy density and speed up charging.
However, the current manufacturing processes for lithium-ion batteries involve over a dozen intricate steps, employing heavy equipment and consuming substantial energy 2. Significant amounts of greenhouse gas emissions are generated from the consumed electricity and fossil fuels.
A team of researchers from Guangdong University of Technology achieved a major breakthrough in lithium-ion battery technology that could make electric vehicles and energy storage cheaper. Traditionally, lithium-ion batteries used to power EVs and renewable energy grids are made of lithium iron phosphate and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide.
