Electric Vehicle Lithium-Ion Battery Life Cycle Management. This study aims to identify and compare the lifecycle environmental impacts springing from a novel Al-ion battery, with the current state-of-the-art chemistry, i.e., Li-ion NMC. The global warming potential (GWP) indicator was selected to express the results due to its relevance to society, policy and to facilitate the comparison of our results This work aims to evaluate and compare the environmental impacts of 1 st and 2 nd life lithium ion batteries (LIB). Therefore, a comparative Life Cycle Assessment, including the operation in a The batteries’ requirement was chosen in terms of their battery life, small size, low weight, higher storage capacity, and effective self-discharging capacity to resist temperature environments and different climatic conditions. Accordingly, the lithium-ion battery was extensively used for various applications. Keywords: Life Cycle Assessment; Life Cycle Inventory; Battery Cell Production; Batteries; Scale-Up 1. Introduction Lithium-Ion batteries (LIB) are a key technology for many recent applications such as electric vehicles and stationary power supply. A general life cycle assessment model is developed in this paper, which covers the whole process of production, using and recycling of ternary lithium-ion battery. With the overall comparison of 5 different recycling technologies, the key links and main contributing factors to reduce the environmental impacts are further identified. A comparative life cycle assessment on lithium-ion battery: Case study on electric vehicle battery in China considering battery evolution Waste Manage Res. , 39 ( 2020 ) , pp. 156 - 164 , 10.1177/0734242X20966637 This work aims at assessing to what extent electric engines are a real cleaner solution in the transport sector. The assessment is accomplished by comparing two kinds of electric vehicle, a lithium battery powered electric bicycle (E-bike) and a hydrogen-fuel cell operated one (H-bike) by means of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method. Social and socio-economic Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA) was introduced in 2009 and is the preferred tool available for assessing internalities and externalities of the production of goods and services for “people” and “profit/prosperity”, i.e. identifying and quantifying social risks on stakeholders within supply chains (UNEP/SETAC, 2009). On the basis of a review of existing life cycle assessment studies on lithium-ion battery recycling, we parametrize process models of state-of-the-art pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical recycling, enabling their application to different cell chemistries, including beyond-lithium batteries such as sodium-ion batteries.
