This article explores the geopolitical relations and interdependencies emerging in the lithium extraction and manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries. It discusses the characteristics of the lithium-ion battery supply value chain to argue that lithium is not just a strategic resource.
These techniques can support the study of batteries by identifying the formation of new species and monitoring electrochemical energy stability. However, few works have employed these techniques, which can be used to investigate various materials, including systems beyond lithium-ion technology, in the research of batteries.
Therefore, innovation is needed to adapt this process to cobalt-free or low-cobalt LIBs chemistries and to achieve efficient recovery of lithium and other battery components, such as developing new roasting conditions that make it easier to separate and purify valuable metals or other battery components.
Understanding the environmental impact of electric vehicle batteries is crucial for a low-carbon future. This study examined the energy use and emissions of current and future battery technologies using nickel-manganese-cobalt and lithium-iron-phosphate.
The IEA projects that total LIB capacity will exceed 12,000 GWh by 2050 under the SDS; primary manufacturing to create this battery capacity would result in GHG emissions totaling 8.2 GtCO 2 eq under the NCX scenario where nickel-based battery chemistries dominate.
1) Disassembly and pretreatment: Differences in shape (e.g., cylindrical, prismatic, and pouch-like), size (e.g., 18 650 and 26 650 for cylindrical batteries), and composition (e.g., LCO, NCM, and LFP) of LIBs present special challenges for disassembly and pretreatment.
