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.
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).
Consequently, different lithium batteries, especially primary lithium batteries, and rechargeable LIBs have been recognized as the preferred battery for paving the way for the next face of electrical supply technology (Ozawa 1994; Zeng et al. 2014).
Lithium-ion batteries serve as a prominent secondary resource of lithium, but in the practice of LIBs recycling, lithium is not commonly recovered (Meshram et al. 2019). Batteries account for 27% of worldwide lithium consumption.
Compared to alternative recycling methods, pyrometallurgical recycling of lithium-ion batteries recovers metals (62% Co and 96% Ni), produces large quantities of non -recyclable aluminum and lithium in slag after the smelting process, and also uses expensive reducing agents (Tao et al. 2021).
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.
