This could help new designs – and eventually battery production – avoid the problem. New lithium metal batteries with solid electrolytes are lightweight, nonflammable, pack a lot of energy, and can be recharged very quickly, but they have been slow to develop due to mysterious short circuiting and failure.
Taken together, it points to lithium-ion batteries as a potential vector for forever chemical pollution from cradle to grave. Without taking action, it’s a problem that could grow as more pieces of our lives become all-electric — from cars to homes and buildings. “It’s definitely not intended to be anti-clean or sustainable energy ...
In addition to lithium-induced battery failure, the cycle life is another problem. For instance, the use of lithium as an anode causes dendrite growth and pulverization during cycling, thereby significantly reducing the life of the cell. The large volume change in a cell with a lithium anode is also an unsolved problem.
A recent concern in the industry is determining whether lithium-ion batteries with a LiFePO 4 (LFP) cathode or those with a LiNi x Co y Mn z O 2 (NCM) cathode are safer. Researchers have tested many samples from different manufacturers for lithium-ion batteries with various cell chemistries.
