Considering the supply chain composed of a power battery supplier and a new energy vehicle manufacturer, under the carbon cap-and-trade policy, this paper studies the different cooperation modes between the manufacturer and the supplier as well as their strategies for green technology and power battery production. Three game models are constructed and
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are nowadays the most used energy storage system in the market, being applied in a large variety of applications including portable electronic devices (such as sensors, notebooks, music players and smartphones) with small and medium sized batteries, and electric vehicles, with large size batteries [1].The market of LIB is
Excessive moisture content in lithium-ion batteries can lead to a chemical reaction with the lithium salt in the electrolyte, resulting in the formation of HF (hydrofluoric acid):. H2O + LiPF6 → POF3 + LiF + 2HF. Hydrofluoric
the battery production process comes from the electricity used in manufacturing. Therefore, using cleaner electricity in factories can significantly reduce the emissions & Marcel Weil, "The environmental impact of Li-Ion batteries and the role of key parameters – A review," Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2017, 67, 491-506
This article delves into the environmental impact of battery manufacturing for electric cars, examining the implications of raw material extraction, energy consumption, waste generation, and disposal. It explores strategies such as sustainable sourcing, renewable energy integration, and battery recycling to mitigate the environmental footprint of battery production
The focus in this study was solely on battery cell production, meaning that the impacts of the raw materials, battery pack assembly, use phase, and recycling were excluded. The results of the studies by Dai et al. (2019) and Sun et al. (2020) were similar to those of this study, while Kim et al. (2016) reported higher GHG emissions without disclosing the energy
Overall, LIBs are superior to Ni-Cd, Pb-Ac, and NiMH batteries, suggesting that advanced battery technology helps to reduce the environmental impact of batteries. In the battery production stage, the energy consumption and emissions are relatively large for cathode material processing and electrode drying (Kim et al., 2016; Notter et al., 2010
The role of lithium batteries in the green transition is pivotal. As the world moves towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on fossil fuels,
What Is the Impact of Lithium-Ion Battery Production on Water Resources? Lithium-ion battery production significantly impacts water resources through the extraction and processing of lithium and other materials. This process can lead to water depletion, contamination, and ecosystem disruption.
The battery manufacturing process is a complex sequence of steps transforming raw materials into functional, reliable energy storage units. This guide covers the entire
The battery of a Tesla Model S, for example, has about 12 kilograms of lithium in it; grid storage needed to help balance renewable energy would need a lot more lithium given the size of the battery required.
Life cycle assessment is a technique to analyze and evaluate resources and environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a product''s life including raw material, production process, packaging, energy and some other human activity, including the collection of raw material, production, transportation, consumption, final disposal (ISO 14040, 2006).

The production process. Producing lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles is more material-intensive than producing traditional combustion engines, Batteries'' bigger impact. Despite the environmental footprint of manufacturing lithium-ion batteries, this technology is much more climate-friendly than the alternatives, Shao-Horn says.
In the context of LOBs, while the cathode accounts for only 2–3% of the total weight of the battery, its production is responsible for up to 75% of the total environmental impact, making the design and manufacturing of the cathode materials critical for reducing the environmental footprint of these batteries (Zackrisson et al., 2016).
This study examined the energy use and emissions of current and future
