Through LCA evaluation of batteries, the extraction of raw materials and the production stage of electrode materials were found to have the most considerable environmental impact. Moreover, the disposal of waste batteries, such as landfills or incineration, imposes a heavy burden on the environment.
Compared with positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials are more likely to cause internal short circuits in batteries because of the formation of an SEI layer, dendrites on the ground of the negative electrode and the volume variation of the negative electrode, thus leading to battery failure.
Cicconi et al. used a life cycle assessment (LCA) analysis to assess the environmental impact of reusing retired batteries. In this study, the results of the environmental impact are classified and standardized by categories (global warming, acidification, and eutrophication).
Despite these challenges, direct recycling is particularly promising for reducing the overall environmental impact of battery disposal. The complexities associated with the diverse chemistries, designs, and sizes of LIBs further complicate the recycling process, often necessitating manual sorting and disassembly.
Traditional recycling methods may not be directly applicable, necessitating new technologies capable of efficiently recovering valuable materials. These efforts are crucial for minimizing waste, reducing the demand for virgin materials, and lessening the environmental impact of battery production .
For batteries, a number of pollutive agents has been already identified on consolidated manufacturing trends, including lead, cadmium, lithium, and other heavy metals. Moreover, the emerging materials used in battery assembly may pose new concerns on environmental safety as the reports on their toxic effects remain ambiguous.
