In the traditional negative electrodes of LFP, NMC, and LTO batteries, the contribution of each component's ecological footprint has a regularity, with copper electrode plates and NMP solvents contributing the vast majority of the ecological footprint values.
In the positive electrode material, the water footprint of NMP and NMC are 3.016 m 3 and 1.529 m 3, respectively, contributing a total of 92% of the water footprint impact value. Almost 99% of the water footprint of LTO battery negative electrode materials comes from NMP and LTO.
Using a lithium metal negative electrode has the promise of both higher specific energy density cells and an environmentally more benign chemistry. One example is that the copper current collector, needed for a LIB, ought to be possible to eliminate, reducing the amount of inactive cell material.
In traditional battery positive electrodes, active substances such as LiFePO 4, NMC, and NCM contribute the most footprint impact values, and their production process poses higher risks to environmental and human health.
The contributions of negative electrode, positive electrode, collector, and battery shell in the other components are 3.3%, 1.3%, 0.5%, and 0.1%, respectively.
The present study focuses on using life cycle assessment to evaluate the environmental impact associated with the industrial-scale production of flow batteries and the corresponding sensitivity to materials selection decisions.
