Abstract

The use of Lithium-ion batteries in the automobile sector has expanded drastically in the recent years. The foreseen increment of lithium to power electric and hybrid electric vehicles has provoked specialists to analyze the long term credibility of lithium as a transportation asset. To give a better picture of future accessibility, this paper exhibits a life cycle model for the key procedures and materials associated with the electric vehicle lithium-ion battery life cycle, on a worldwide scale. This model tracks the flow of lithium and energy sources from extraction, to generation, to on road utilization, and the role of reusing and scrapping. This life cycle evaluation model is the initial phase in building up an examination model for the lithium ion battery production that would enable the policymakers to survey the future importance of lithium battery recycling, and when in time setting up a reusing foundation be made necessary.

Highlights

  • In comparison to nickel cadmium and lead acid batteries, Li-ion batteries are more suited for electric vehicles since Li-ion batteries have higher energy density, weighs less, brings down the maintenance, and have an extended battery life

  • This section plots the methods for making a spreadsheet display, wherein every component of the lithium work flow model is characterized inside a progression of worksheet 'modules.' Every worksheet will take client inputs, for example, amount of metal mined, kind of equipment utilized, and distance traveled from mines to handling plant, and approximate the energy utilization and emissions anticipated

  • Lithium-ion batteries are turning into a prevailing battery science to control the transportation sector due to their technical characteristics and their application in electric and hybrid vehicles

Summary

Introduction

In comparison to nickel cadmium and lead acid batteries, Li-ion batteries are more suited for electric vehicles since Li-ion batteries have higher energy density, weighs less, brings down the maintenance, and have an extended battery life. [1] Other options, for example, nickel-metal hydride and sodium nickel chloride batteries, confront similar issues as lead acid and nickel cadmium batteries which have lower energy density, power, and execution. [3] In this manner, it is important to not just evaluate the sufficiency of future demand and supply of lithium, and to consider whether Li-ion batteries can economically control the future of electric vehicles. For any constrained resource, recycling applications may release pressure on natural environment and enhance the financial aspect of the technology that uses the resource. In this manner, an exhaustive comprehensive understanding of the system in which the resource and technology dwell is important to set up resource security, evaluate the advantages of resource reusing, and survey future practicality of the innovation
