Although lithium-ion batteries do not affect the environment when they are in use, they do require electricity to charge. The world is majorly dependent on coal-based sources to generate electricity, which can raise the bar for environmental footprint.
Strong growth in lithium-ion battery (LIB) demand requires a robust understanding of both costs and environmental impacts across the value-chain. Recent announcements of LIB manufacturers to venture into cathode active material (CAM) synthesis and recycling expands the process segments under their influence.
Regarding energy storage, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are one of the prominent sources of comprehensive applications and play an ideal role in diminishing fossil fuel-based pollution. The rapid development of LIBs in electrical and electronic devices requires a lot of metal assets, particularly lithium and cobalt (Salakjani et al. 2019).
Waste LIBs recycling will prevent adverse environmental impacts like groundwater contamination, soil pollution, and air pollution (Chinyama 2016), but recycling is not entirely safe for the environment. The disposal of different lithium-ion batteries varies depending on their size and type.
The emission of such chemicals through a spill air emission or leaching can harm ecosystems, societies, and food production. Furthermore, lithium extraction damages the soil and causes air contamination (Democracy Center Special Report, Bolivia and its lithium 2010).
To meet a growing demand, companies have outlined plans to ramp up global battery production capacity . The production of LIBs requires critical raw materials, such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite. Raw material demand will put strain on natural resources and will increase environmental problems associated with mining [6, 7].
