“…Although the use of toxic elements and hazardous sulfuric acid makes Pb-acid batteries internally unsustainable, these types of batteries have been used for more than a century and are applied in nearly every vehicle on the road today. [17] It has not practically caused a serious and unbearable environmental sustainability problem so far, due to the fact that Pb-acid batteries have achieved more than 99% recovery and recycling rates globally. [18] Most ongoing research work on Pb-acid batteries are aiming at extending their cycle life, enhancing their charge rate, and improving other operation parameters.…”

Global energy consumption is continuously increasing with population growth and rapid industrialization, which requires sustainable advancements in both energy generation and energy-storage technologies. [1] While bringing great prosperity to human society, the increasing energy demand creates challenges for energy resources and the consumption of conventional fossil fuels causes increasing greenhouse gas emission. [2] Therefore, for a sustainable energy future, new technologies and new ways of thinking are needed with respect to energy generation, storage, delivery, and consumption. [3] To enhance energy security and reduce the negative health and environmental impacts of fossil fuels, there has been growing focus on the exploration of renewable energy sources, among which solar, wind, tide, and wave energies represent successful sectors at present. [4] However, the renewable energies are usually not continuously available due to external factors that cannot be controlled. The requirements of addressing the intermittency issue of these clean energies have triggered a very rapidly developing area of research-electricity (or energy) storage. [5] Battery storage systems are emerging as one of the key solutions to effectively integrate intermittent renewable energies in power systems. [6] Setting power cable-free, rechargeable batteries have powered extensive types of mobile electronics that are supporting our modern life. [7] Highpower-density and high-energy-density rechargeable battery technologies are also presently under vigorous development for vehicle electrification. [8] Utility-scale batteries are expected to enable a great feed-in of renewables into the grid by storing excess generation and firming renewable energy output. [9] Scaling up from portable power sources to transportation-scale and grid-scale applications, the design of electrochemical storage systems needs to take into account the cost/abundance of materials, environmental/eco efficiency of cell chemistries, as well as the life cycle and safety analysis. [10] A number of currently existing rechargeable battery technologies can possibly fulfil some of the aforementioned sustainability requirements. However, existing intrinsic limitations of energy-storage capacity or technological hurdles are hampering the deployment toward large-scale applications. [11] In this perspective, we first give an overview of the currently existing rechargeable battery technologies from a sustainability point of view. With regard to energy-storage performance, lithium-ion batteries are leading all the other rechargeable battery chemistries in terms of both energy density and power density. However long-term sustainability concerns of lithium-ion technology are also obvious when examining the materials toxicity and the feasibility, cost, and availability of elemental resources. Based off of recent research advances, strategies and approaches toward the enhancement of sustainability of lithium-ion technologies are first discussed. Then, emerging and cutting-edge battery...

“…1,2 Compared with the lithium-ion batteries, LABs are still the mainstream batteries of the energy storage market due to their low price, safe operation and relatively perfect recycling system, and are widely applied in many fields such as transportation, electric power systems, communication equipment, and defense industry. 3,4 However, the raw Pb material has occupied the highest cost proportion in the overall LABs, which is more than 40% and strongly influenced by upstream Pb production and price. Therefore, the recovery of Pb resources from waste LABs has been a research hotspot, [5][6][7] which can not only further improve the sustainable cycle system of "production-application-recycling" of LABs, but also avoid the over-exploitation of Pb resources and maintain the healthy development of the surrounding ecological environment.…”

“…1 Despite the dynamic development of lithium-ion battery technology in recent years, lead-acid batteries are still dominant in the market due to their low raw material costs, low energy consumption during production, high recycling efficiency, and reliable system operation. [2][3][4] Lead-acid batteries are mostly utilized in the automotive industry in the form of starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) batteries types. 5 However, with the current rapid development of fully electric vehicles, they can also serve as auxiliary batteries, providing safety features.…”
