Silicon is the second most abundant material on earth. Besides, the discharge products of silicon–air battery are non-toxic and environment-friendly. Pure silicon, nano-engineered silicon and doped silicon have been found potential candidate for anode.
Comparing the environmental impact results of all solid state lithium batteries with traditional LIBs, it was found that the environmental impact of all solid state batteries is generally higher due to differences in electrolyte materials and manufacturing processes. 2. Research methods and experimental data
EV batteries offer promising opportunities for a sustainable future, considering their economic and environmental impacts and the importance of understanding their lifecycle. This analysis delves into the recovery of materials and various methods for extracting lithium and manufacturing EV batteries.
The positive and negative electrode materials of LIB are the same as those of all solid state batteries. The results indicate that in indicators such as GWP, AP, ecological potential toxicity (ETP), raw material extraction and processing account for over 50% of the environmental impact.
But in the material footprint, both functional units of solid-state batteries have a significant impact. The high energy density of solid-state batteries still holds great development prospects, and cleaner technology and energy, as well as higher energy density, remain the direction of battery development.
