Disassembly of a lithium-ion cell showing internal structure. Lithium batteries are batteries that use lithium as an anode.This type of battery is also referred to as a lithium-ion battery [1] and is most commonly used for electric vehicles and electronics. [1] The first type of lithium battery was created by the British chemist M. Stanley Whittingham in the early …
This study presents the life cycle assessment (LCA) of three batteries for plug-in hybrid and full performance battery electric vehicles. A transparent life cycle inventory (LCI) was compiled in a component-wise manner for nickel metal hydride (NiMH), nickel cobalt manganese lithium-ion (NCM), and iron phosphate lithium-ion (LFP) …
The increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has accelerated the extraction and processing of numerous critical minerals embedding lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and graphite. Extracting these elements from the earth''s crust is inevitably associated with the generation of by-products, leading to various environmental impacts that need to be …
Strong growth in lithium-ion battery (LIB) demand requires a robust understanding of both costs and environmental impacts across the value-chain. Recent …

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have been expected to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other environmental impacts. However, GHG emissions of lithium ion battery (LiB) production for a vehicle with recycling during its life cycle have not been clarified. Moreover, demands for nickel (Ni), …
The results can be summarized as follows: (1) Based on the four environmental impact categories of GWP, AP, ADP (f), and HTP, which are the global warming potential (GWP), acidification potential ...
Environmental impact assessment of lithium ion battery employing cradle to grave. ... normalized, and weighted factors for the environmental impact of a Li-ion battery (NMC811) throughout its life cycle. To achieve this, open LCA software is employed, utilizing data from product environmental footprint category rules, the …
1. Introduction. The transport sector is responsible for 23% of global energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of which, in 2018, 75% were particularly caused by road traffic (IEA, 2018).Battery-powered vehicles (BEV) are seen as a promising way to reduce the environmental impact during the use stage (IEA, 2021).While in most …
