Using a lithium metal negative electrode has the promise of both higher specific energy density cells and an environmentally more benign chemistry. One example is that the copper current collector, needed for a LIB, ought to be possible to eliminate, reducing the amount of inactive cell material.
Though the use of LTO-negative electrodes in Li-ion batteries is of growing interest, there are fewer publications available. Yin et al. (2019) provided life cycle inventories of commonly used materials in Chinese batteries, including LTO electrodes.
Akasapu and Hehenberger, (2023) found similar conclusion that Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Abiotic Depletion Potential (ADP) are critical factor for environmental impacts . The current findings also reveal that climate change (fossil) contribute the major environmental impacts during LCA of lithium ion batteries.
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).
