Sustainable materials for lithium-ion batteries: electrodes, separators and solid polymer electrolytes
| Resumo: | Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) represent the most suitable and widely used candidate for effective energy storage systems for a wide range of applications, such as small electronic devices and electric vehicles, among others. With the increase in energy demand and considering environmental issues and circular economy considerations, it is necessary that the materials that compose LIBs are most sustainable while maintaining or even improving battery performance. Considering the cost of battery manufacturing based on the increase of the price of lithium and metallic elements and the needed reduction of greenhouse gases emissions, one of the main possibilities is that next generation LIBs are produced through sustainable materials and processes. In this chapter, the state-of-the-art on sustainable processes and materials for the different components -electrodes, separators and solid polymer electrolytes- of LIBs is presented. Furthermore, these materials and processes can be combined with recycling processes, decreasing the environmental impact of Li-ion batteries. |
