Approach to address the pressing need for efficient and transparent evaluation techniques to assess extraction processes’ sustainability. In response to society's growing demand for natural products and the consequent surge in biomass exploration, a critical imperative arises to ensure that these processes are genuinely environmentally friendly. Extracting natural compounds has traditionally been regarded as a benign activity rooted in ancient practices. However, contemporary extraction methods can also significantly harm the environment if not carefully managed.

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.
