Life Cycle Assessment of Lithium-ion Batteries: A Critical Review

Selective bacterial separation of critical metals: towards a sustainable method for recycling lithium ion batteries

“…The implementation of life cycle assessments (LCAs) will ultimately be the tool to compare the sustainability of the methodologies for recycling end of life LIBs. 48 Another exciting finding achieved in this work was the synthesis of novel nanoparticles. The identification of biogenic zero-valent Co NPs shows the potential of biology for producing unique nanoparticles with perhaps novel physicochemical properties.…”

Environmental Impacts of Photovoltaic Energy Storage in a Nearly Zero Energy Building Life Cycle

“…Minerals and metals use is the major affected category in each analyzed life cycle stage, except the transportation stage in accordance with the study of Gandiglio et al [ 38 ]. Climate change belongs to the most frequently analyzed impact categories, while abiotic resource depletion is one of the least investigated [ 47 ]. While multiple authors confirm difficulties with individual LCA study comparisons [ 19 , 23 , 47 , 48 ], more attention should be paid to create more studies concerning abiotic resource depletion.…”

It is important to make this topic visible and to further analyze related aspects.…”

Electrochemical performance of CoSe2 with mixed phases decorated with N-doped rGO in potassium-ion batteries

“…LIBs are widely used in the eld of energy storage due to their high energy density and excellent power density. [1][2][3] Meanwhile, the limited and unevenly distributed lithium resources not only make LIBs expensive, but also severely limits the large-scale application of LIBs. 4 Consequently, it is urgent to explore new and low-cost energy storage devices.…”
