Furthermore, lithium extraction damages the soil and causes air contamination (Democracy Center Special Report, Bolivia and its lithium 2010). In north Chile, lithium extraction has caused water-related conflict with the community of Toconao (CODEFF Data research on lithium within the REdUSE Project).
Regarding energy storage, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are one of the prominent sources of comprehensive applications and play an ideal role in diminishing fossil fuel-based pollution. The rapid development of LIBs in electrical and electronic devices requires a lot of metal assets, particularly lithium and cobalt (Salakjani et al. 2019).
Although lithium-ion batteries do not affect the environment when they are in use, they do require electricity to charge. The world is majorly dependent on coal-based sources to generate electricity, which can raise the bar for environmental footprint.
The lithium-ion battery life cycle includes the following steps: 1. Mining /Extraction of raw materials used for its package and cells. 2. 3. Manufacturing of intermediate products (cathode, anode, electrolytes) that is used for the construction of pack and cells. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Future environmental impact assessments should take into account the chemicals and energy consumed during the recycling process.
