Battery cycle life was found to be a major factor in comparing sodium-ion battery environmental impacts versus lithium-ion batteries: a drop to a cycle life of 1000 caused sodium-ion batteries to generally perform worse than lithium-ion across indicators, while increases to 3000 or higher led to lower impacts than most lithium-ion battery types. This study also highlights

This work aims to provide a in depth review of life cycle environmental impacts of SSBs, to identify potential hotspots and provide information for further requirements regarding environmental assessments and the implications for future possible design options. Additionally, a new unification methodology for comparative LCAs with a consistent basis is suggested. The
High-autonomy and electrical power electric vehicle batteries have different chemistries and undergo complex manufacturing processes [11], which greatly influence their environmental performance.For example, the impact of producing an Li-based battery can vary from 40 kg to 350 kg CO 2 per kWh battery capacity depending upon the battery chemistry [12].

Background The global market for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is growing exponentially, resulting in an increase in mining activities for the metals needed for manufacturing LIBs. Cobalt, lithium, manganese, and nickel are four of the metals most used in the construction of LIBs, and each has known toxicological risks associated with exposure. Mining for these
At present, the range of electrolyte salts that can be used in Ca-ion batteries is restricted to a few options, such as calcium nitrate (Ca(NO 3) 2), calcium borohydride (Ca(BH 4) 2), calcium (trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide (Ca(TFSI) 2), calcium perchlorate (Ca(ClO 4) 2), and calcium tetrafluoroborate. This limited range of options highlights the need for ongoing
The growing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in smartphones, electric vehicles (EVs), and other energy storage devices should be correlated with their environmental impacts from production to usage and recycling. As the use of LIBs grows, so does the number of waste LIBs, demanding a recycling procedure as a sustainable resource and safer for the
The criticality score for vanadium in sodium-ion batteries ranged from 39 to 50, with a score level closest to that of lithium metal. Titanium in sodium-ion batteries had a higher criticality score compared to vanadium, ranging from 52 to 61. Lastly, the criticality score associated with graphite ranged from 36 to 51, exhibiting a

To address above research gaps, this study aimed to investigate the influence of advanced battery technologies on the life cycle environmental impact of power batteries. The research targeted six types of NCM batteries (NCM333, NCM523, NCM622, NCM811, NCM90, NM90) and the LFP battery.
By 2030, the recovery levels should reach 95 % for cobalt, copper, lead and nickel, and 70 % for lithium; requirements relating to the operations of repurposing and remanufacturing for a second life of industrial and EV batteries; labelling and information requirements.
In NMC-811, the environmental impact score and the proportion of nickel are 9.09 and 92 %, respectively. In sodium-ion batteries, the main contributors to environmental impact are nickel for NNMO, iron for NFPF, titanium for NTP, and vanadium for NVP. The proportions of these elements in sodium-ion batteries are all above 80 % (Fig. 4 (a)).
