Comparing the Energy and Climate Impacts of Conventional Lithium-ion and All-Solid-State Batteries

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate and compare the environmental impacts of conventional lithium-ion batteries and all-solid-state batteries, focusing on recycling processes.
• Comparative analysis of energy density between lithium-ion and all-solid-state batteries
• Assessment of environmental impacts during the recycling phase
• Evaluation of safety features of both battery types
• All-solid-state batteries demonstrate a higher energy density compared to lithium-ion batteries
• Environmental impacts during the recycling of all-solid-state batteries are less understood than those of lithium-ion batteries
• Findings suggest that while ASSBs are safer, their recycling processes need further exploration
