“…This can lead to an acidification of the aqueous solution, which will have an influence on the solubility of, e.g. cathode materials, such as phospho-olivine LiFePO 4 or the layered material Li(Ni,Co,Mn)O 2 , which already dissolves at moderate pH-levels [115]. We observed [146] that active cathode materials are partly dissolved when in contact with aqueous solutions of Li 3 InCl 6 , which results in contamination of the recrystallized Li 3 InCl 6 with transition metals and can change the conductivity of re-crystallized Li 3 InCl 6 significantly.…”

The tremendous efforts made in the research field of solid-state Li-ion batteries has led to considerable advancement of this technology and first market-ready systems can be expected in the near future. The research community is currently investigating different solid-state electrolyte classes (e.g., oxides, sulfides, halides and polymers) with a focus on further optimizing the synthesis and electrochemical performance. However, so far, the development of sustainable recycling strategies allowing for an efficient backflow of critical elements contained in these batteries into the economic cycle and thus a transition from a linear to a circular economy lags behind.In this contribution, resource aspects with respect to the chemical value of crucial materials, which are used for the synthesis of solid-state electrolytes are being discussed. Furthermore, an overview of possible approaches in relation to their challenges and opportunities for the recycling of solid-state batteries with respect to different solid-state electrolyte classes by means of pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy and direct recycling/dissolution-based separation processes is given. Based these considerations and with reference to previous research, it will be shown that different solid-state electrolytes will require individually adapted recycling processes to be suitably designed for a circular economy, and that further improvements and investigations will be required.

“…Longer Lifespan: The solid electrolytes in SSBs are less prone to degradation compared to liquid electrolytes, which tend to break down over time and under thermal stress [20,23]. This inherent stability of solid electrolytes contributes to a longer lifespan for SSBs, reducing the frequency of battery replacement and, in the long run, diminishing the environmental and economic impact of battery disposal [33].…”

Solid-state batteries (SSBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries, with notable advantages in safety, energy density, and longevity, yet the environmental implications of their lifecycle, from manufacturing to disposal, remain a critical concern. This review paper examines the environmental impacts associated with the production, use, and end-of-life management of SSBs, starting with the extraction and processing of raw materials which highlights significant natural resource consumption, energy use, and emissions. A comparative analysis with traditional battery manufacturing underscores the environmental hazards of novel materials specific to SSBs. The review also assesses the operational environmental impact of SSBs by evaluating their energy efficiency and carbon footprint in comparison to conventional batteries, followed by an exploration of end-of-life challenges including disposal risks, regulatory frameworks, and the shortcomings of existing waste management practices. A significant focus is placed on recycling and reuse strategies, reviewing current methodologies like mechanical, pyrometallurgical, and hydrometallurgical processes, along with emerging technologies that aim to overcome recycling barriers, while also analyzing the economic and technological challenges of these processes. Additionally, real-world case studies are presented, serving as benchmarks for best practices and highlighting lessons learned in the field. In conclusion, the paper identifies research gaps and future directions for reducing the environmental footprint of SSBs, underscoring the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to advance sustainable SSB technologies and contribute to balancing technological advancements with environmental stewardship, thereby supporting the transition to a more sustainable energy future.
