Finally, for the minerals and metals resource use category, the lithium iron phosphate battery (LFP) is the best performer, 94% less than lead-acid. So, in general, the LIB are determined to be superior to the lead-acid batteries in terms of the chosen cradle-to-grave environmental impact categories.
Lithium iron phosphate battery refers to a lithium-ion battery using lithium iron phosphate as a positive electrode material. The cathode materials of lithium-ion batteries mainly include lithium cobalt, lithium manganese, lithium nickel, ternary material, lithium iron phosphate, and so on.
The names of LIB refer to the chemicals that make up their active materials, such as nickel cobalt aluminum (NCA), lithium iron phosphate (LFP), and nickel manganese cobalt (NMC). However, extraction, processing, and disposal of battery materials are resource-intensive (Tivander, 2016). These impacts should be quantified and analysed.
Lithium iron phosphate LFP is a common and inexpensive polyanionic compound extensively used as a battery cathode. It has a long life span, flat voltage charge-discharge curves, and is safe for the environment. Sun et al. prepared 3D interdigitated lithium-ion microbattery architectures using concentrated lithium oxide-based inks .
The cycle life of a long-life lead-acid battery is about 300 times, the highest is 500 times, and the cycle life of the lithium iron phosphate battery is more than 2000 times, and the standard charge (5-hour rate) can be used for 2000 times.
Lithium iron phosphate batteries are generally considered to be free of any heavy metals and rare metals (nickel metal hydride batteries need rare metals), non-toxic (SGS certification), pollution-free, in line with European RoHS regulations, for the absolute green battery certificate.

The Al–air battery has proven to be very attractive as an efficient and sustainable technology for energy storage and conversion with the capability to power large electronic devices and vehicles. This review has summarized recent developments of Al anode, air cathode, and electrolytes in Al–air batteries.
Aluminium–air batteries are primary cells, i.e., non-rechargeable. Once the aluminium anode is consumed by its reaction with atmospheric oxygen at a cathode immersed in a water-based electrolyte to form hydrated aluminium oxide, the battery will no longer produce electricity.
Alternatively, metal–air batteries such as Al–air batteries are a combination of both battery and fuel cell components. In these batteries, the anode consists of a solid metal electrode (Al), while the cathode utilizes the oxygen present in the air.

Lithium ions diffuse in 2 dimensional planes between layers of graphene. Note that after lithium insertion, the distance between graphene layers is larger than that of graphite, which gives approximately 10% volume expansion. Graphite is still the most widely used anode material since its first application to commercial. . Lithium titanate is an anode material with a spinel type structure where the lithium ions occupy tetrahedral sites and move by hopping via intermediate octahedral sites.

We have developed a method which is adaptable and straightforward for the production of a negative electrode material based on Si/carbon nanotube (Si/CNTs) composite for Li-ion batteries.
The electrochemical reaction at the negative electrode in Li-ion batteries is represented by x Li + +6 C +x e − → Li x C 6 The Li + -ions in the electrolyte enter between the layer planes of graphite during charge (intercalation). The distance between the graphite layer planes expands by about 10% to accommodate the Li + -ions.
The limitations in potential for the electroactive material of the negative electrode are less important than in the past thanks to the advent of 5 V electrode materials for the cathode in lithium-cell batteries. However, to maintain cell voltage, a deep study of new electrolyte–solvent combinations is required.
Lithium manganese spinel oxide and the olivine LiFePO 4, are the most promising candidates up to now. These materials have interesting electrochemical reactions in the 3–4 V region which can be useful when combined with a negative electrode of potential sufficiently close to lithium.
Current research appears to focus on negative electrodes for high-energy systems that will be discussed in this review with a particular focus on C, Si, and P.
The performance of the synthesized composite as an active negative electrode material in Li ion battery has been studied. It has been shown through SEM as well as impedance analyses that the enhancement of charge transfer resistance, after 100 cycles, becomes limited due to the presence of CNT network in the Si-decorated CNT composite.
