To meet the intended safety standards, new, emerging batteries use a solid-state electrolyte with a significantly higher inherent stability. Such so called all-solid-state lithium batteries that use a solid electrolyte in place of a liquid electrolyte have been increasingly investigated recently [23, 24].
Comparing the environmental impact results of all solid state lithium batteries with traditional LIBs, it was found that the environmental impact of all solid state batteries is generally higher due to differences in electrolyte materials and manufacturing processes. 2. Research methods and experimental data
The positive and negative electrode materials of LIB are the same as those of all solid state batteries. The results indicate that in indicators such as GWP, AP, ecological potential toxicity (ETP), raw material extraction and processing account for over 50% of the environmental impact.
All solid state lithium batteries are composed of nickel manganese cobalt oxide positive electrode, Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4) 3 (LATP) solid electrolyte, lithium metal negative electrode, positive and negative electrode caps, and gaskets. The positive and negative electrode materials of LIB are the same as those of all solid state batteries.
Solid state batteries use lithium with a higher theoretical capacity as the negative electrode material, resulting in metallic lithium contributing more footprint impact intensity, and the unit mass footprint intensity of metallic lithium is also higher.
Solid state battery technologies based on the different classes of solid electrolytes face various technological challenges such as the scale-up of material production, production of the different battery components and compatibilities between their performance aspects .
