Comparative life cycle assessment of lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and solid-state battery cells for electric vehicles

The transition toward electrification of transportation has resulted in a rapid increase in the demand for battery cells. While this demand is currently being met through the use of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), alternative batteries like sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and solid-state batteries (SSBs) are emerging as relevant alternatives. In this study, we analyze, based on current electric vehicle electrode stack designs, the environmental impact of LIB cells, SIB cells, and SSB cells.

Direct Lithium to Product™ (DLP™)

GreenLiT Pure Lithium™, an IBC Advanced Technologies, Inc. subsidiary, specializes in producing high-purity lithium, essential for lithium-ion batteries. The company's Direct Lithium to Product™ (DLP™) technology uses Molecular Recognition Technology™ (MRT™) to recover lithium with exceptional selectivity over competing elements like Mg, Ca, Na, K, and B. The process achieves a high purity of 99% lithium extraction yield, utilizing rapid bind-and-release kinetics for efficient loading and elution with fewer bed volumes.

Sustainable Battery Technology

Nanoengineered separator coatings and liquid electrolytes for faster charging, low cost, and energy-dense lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries. Sepion Technologies has deployed its proprietary material discovery platform powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) to predict material properties such as flash point and viscosity to develop a non-flammable liquid electrolyte that can reduce the risk and severity of fires in electric vehicles (EV) batteries.
