Environmental impact of battery nanomaterials The environmental impact of nano-scale materials is assessed in terms of their direct ecotoxicological consequences and their synergistic effect towards bioavailability of other pollutants . As previously pointed out, nanomaterials can induce ROS formation, under abiotic and biotic conditions.
The full impact of novel battery compounds on the environment is still uncertain and could cause further hindrances in recycling and containment efforts. Currently, only a handful of countries are able to recycle mass-produced lithium batteries, accounting for only 5% of the total waste of the total more than 345,000 tons in 2018.
However, the environmental impacts of the activities of the Japanese automobile industry after the introduction of recycling should also be considered to clarify the benefits of recycling vehicle batteries, in addition to the recovery potential of battery materials.
The limited amount of studies assessing this aspect in detail indicates a demand for further research on the environmental trade-off between increased energy demand for nanomaterial production and the improved battery performance due the application of these materials .
