Results showed that amongst the 4 batteries namely lead acid batteries, NCM, lithium manganese oxide (LMO), and LFP, the lead acid battery and LFP provide the worst and best environmental performance, respectively.
More abundant materials like sodium and sand are being looked at which can be sourced locally and less destructively. Other technologies such as metal-air batteries, solid-state batteries and the use of silicon are all vying to try and increase capacity, and also safety, while reducing production costs.
Rechargeable batteries are generally more sustainable than disposable ones. One rechargeable battery can replace thousands of single-use batteries, significantly reducing waste and carbon footprint. However, the sustainability is not without its complexities.
Among the three types of solid-state batteries, the ecological footprint of the negative electrode is higher than that of the positive electrode. In addition, among the five types of batteries, the contribution of carbon dioxide index to ecological footprint is higher than that of nuclear energy and land occupation. 4.3.2.
Some explored alternatives include sodium-ion batteries, calcium-ion batteries, and organic rechargeable batteries. They have a significantly lower environmental impact, with 28 times less impact on global warming, 30 times less on air pollution, nine times less on air acidification, and 12 times less on water pollution.
Health risks associated with water and metal pollution during battery manufacturing and disposal are also addressed. The presented assessment of the impact spectrum of batteries places green practices at the forefront of solutions that elevate the sustainability of battery production, usages, and disposal. 1.
