Spent LIBs are considered hazardous wastes (especially those from EVs) due to the potential environmental and human health risks. This study provides an up-to-date overview of the environmental impacts and hazards of spent batteries. It categorises the environmental impacts, sources and pollution pathways of spent LIBs.
About 40 percent of the climate impact from the production of lithium-ion batteries comes from the mining and processing of the minerals needed. Mining and refining of battery materials, and manufacturing of the cells, modules and battery packs requires significant amounts of energy which generate greenhouse gases emissions.
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).
High amounts of Li in the environment are detrimental to the health of wildlife and humans. Mining of Li can affect local ecosystems and water basins, and spent Li batteries can contain harmful metals such as cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and manganese (Mn) that can leak out of landfills or cause fires if disposed of improperly.
According to the Wall Street Journal, lithium-ion battery mining and production are worse for the climate than the production of fossil fuel vehicle batteries. Production of the average lithium-ion battery uses three times more cumulative energy demand (CED) compared to a generic battery. The disposal of the batteries is also a climate threat.
There is a growing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for electric transportation and to support the application of renewable energies by auxiliary energy storage systems. This surge in demand requires a concomitant increase in production and, down the line, leads to large numbers of spent LIBs.
Today's lithium-ion battery, modeled after the Whittingham attempt by Akira Yoshino, was first developed in 1985. While lithium-ion batteries can be used as a part of a sustainable solution, shifting all fossil fuel-powered devices to lithium-based batteries might not be the Earth's best option.
