The Selection Of Lithium Battery Raw Materials By Environmental, Economic, And Social Sustainable

The development of technology is done to advance knowledge and simplify life, and to develop the issues that are around. The development of electric vehicles must be encouraged by the development of batteries used to run these vehicles. The batteries used are usually made from lithium, because it has a strong electrical shelf life, not easily damaged, fast charging power, and so forth. This study evaluates and selects the best raw materials for lithium batteries from three selected raw materials, namely Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LCO), Lithium Iron Phospate (LFP), and Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC), because these materials are often used to make good lithium batteries and have some things in common. The approach used to choose the right standard material by knowing the life cycle of each material. This life cycle consists of three elements namely environmental, social, and economic. An environmental approach to find out whether the material used will have an impact on the surrounding environment such as air, water pollution and so forth. An economic approach to find out which materials are more economical so as not to burden the company and consumers who use them. The social approach is carried out to find out information about the material has been known by the consumer related to applicable standards.
