As we know that lithium is one of the widely used powering sources in today’s era. The recharging capacity of the lithium ion battery is quit faster than other electric battery. Apart from the positive side there is a negative impact of the Lithium battery, its extraction requires large amount of water and the released waste from lithium manufacturing effects the environment in multiple ways, the toxic chemical emitted during the lithium extraction pollutes the water, air, and soil. Because lithium cathode degrades over time, these batteries cannot be used in fresh batteries. In this paper we have review the LCA (Life cycle assessment) method to study the effect of Lithium battery on environment.
