“…Furthermore, improper treatment of lithium batteries in landfills can produce air pollutants, which can contribute to climate change and the greenhouse effect. This is because lithium battery emissions can react with other air pollutants to form photochemical smog, which can result in the production of toxic compounds, including ozone, other unhealthy gases, and particles that can have an adverse impact on both the environment and human health (Ashok et al, 2021). Furthermore, the metal molecules that lithium batteries release into the atmosphere can cause acidic deposits that destroy the soil and animal habitats.…”

Currently, the production of electric vehicles and the lithium batteries that powers them is increasing significantly. Thus, this dissertation combines the literature review approach and the life cycle assessment (LCA) method to investigate the environmental or social impact of lithium batteries for electric vehicles from cradle to grave. According to the literature review, the environmental impacts of lithium batteries include carbon dioxide and harmful electrolyte emissions, water pollution, air pollution, solid waste emissions, gaseous pollutants, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals, organic pollutants, particulate matter and CO2 emissions. Therefore, lithium batteries for electric vehicles pose a great environmental concern. In addition, the confusion surrounding the definition of lithium batteries in LCA can pose a significant concern. The in-depth analysis reveals that there is a lack of uniform data on EV lithium batteries, a low recycling rate of lithium batteries, and a lack of waste stream management. There is no uniformity in the technology and development of lithium batteries among countries such as China, Canada, and the USA. As a result, the secondary data may only represent this region. Besides, the literature consulted covers a long period of time. There is little possibility that the negative environmental impact of earlier technology like the burning of lithium batteries in incinerators can now be improved. Moreover, lithium batteries are still in the development stage. Therefore, there is still room for potential development in the future.

“…Биобатареи -это экологически чистые комплексные биоэлектрохимические системы, которые из или с помощью биоресурсов преобразуют химическую энергия в электричество. В отличие от обычных батарей, которые вызывают загрязнение окружающей среды (78), биобатареи считаются устойчивым и возобновляемым источником энергии. Однако оценка жизненного цикла (life cycle assessment, LCA) этих систем до и после их внедрения все еще остается актуальной задачей (79) и зависит от типов материала, используемых при изготовлении конструкции.…”

“…Interestingly, their increase in demand stems from both a cost and toxicity standpoint as an alternative to petroleum-based plastics [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Specifically, the manufacturing, usage, and disposal of common plastics such as polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene terephthalate (PETE) contribute to landfill consumptions, higher greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution among other negative effects [ 18 , 19 ]. Despite the significant established infrastructure and thus convenience of fossil-based plastics, biopolymers present a unique solution to enabling sustainability and biodegradability in materials [ 20 , 21 ].…”

Biopolymers are an emerging class of novel materials with diverse applications and properties such as superior sustainability and tunability. Here, applications of biopolymers are described in the context of energy storage devices, namely lithium-based batteries, zinc-based batteries, and capacitors. Current demand for energy storage technologies calls for improved energy density, preserved performance overtime, and more sustainable end-of-life behavior. Lithium-based and zinc-based batteries often face anode corrosion from processes such as dendrite formation. Capacitors typically struggle with achieving functional energy density caused by an inability to efficiently charge and discharge. Both classes of energy storage need to be packaged with sustainable materials due to their potential leakages of toxic metals. In this review paper, recent progress in energy applications is described for biocompatible polymers such as silk, keratin, collagen, chitosan, cellulose, and agarose. Fabrication techniques are described for various components of the battery/capacitors including the electrode, electrolyte, and separators with biopolymers. Of these methods, incorporating the porosity found within various biopolymers is commonly used to maximize ion transport in the electrolyte and prevent dendrite formations in lithium-based, zinc-based batteries, and capacitors. Overall, integrating biopolymers in energy storage solutions poses a promising alternative that can theoretically match traditional energy sources while eliminating harmful consequences to the environment.
