The environmental impacts of electric vehicle batteries range from mining, and energy and water use to the hazards of discarded batteries. These issues can be resolved, but there’s no time to waste.
Every year, many waste batteries are thrown away without treatment, which is damaging to the environment. The commonly used new energy vehicle batteries are lithium cobalt acid battery, lithium iron phosphate (LIP) battery, NiMH battery, and ternary lithium battery.
The environmental impact of battery emerging contaminants has not yet been thoroughly explored by research. Parallel to the challenging regulatory landscape of battery recycling, the lack of adequate nanomaterial risk assessment has impaired the regulation of their inclusion at a product level.
The full impact of novel battery compounds on the environment is still uncertain and could cause further hindrances in recycling and containment efforts. Currently, only a handful of countries are able to recycle mass-produced lithium batteries, accounting for only 5% of the total waste of the total more than 345,000 tons in 2018.
Moreover, because this study only dealt with the environmental impact of extending the lifespan of batteries in terms of GWP, future research needs to comprehensively consider various other environmental impacts, such as acidification, eutrophication, and resource depletion, as well as economic and social impacts.
The net impact of battery recycling was determined by the difference between the negative effects and the beneficial effects. If the net environmental impacts of the recycling process were negative value, it signified an overall improvement in environmental impacts.
