While generating power from renewable sources such as wind, geothermal, solar, biomass, and hydro is crucial, energy storage is emerging as a vital component of this transition. Lithium, in particular, plays a pivotal role in enabling efficient energy storage and supporting the integration of renewable energy into our grids.
Lithium was discovered in a mineral called petalite by Johann August Arfvedson in 1817, as shown in Fig. 6.3.This alkaline material was named lithion/lithina, from the Greek word λιθoζ (transliterated as lithos, meaning "stone"), to reflect its discovery in a solid mineral, as opposed to potassium, which had been discovered in plant ashes; and …
Considering the quest to meet both sustainable development and energy security goals, we explore the ramifications of explosive growth in the global demand for lithium to meet the needs for batteries in plug-in electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage. We find that heavy dependence on lithium will create energy security risks …

Highlights. First review to look at life cycle assessments of residential battery energy storage systems (BESSs). GHG emissions associated with 1 kWh lifetime electricity stored (kWhd) in the BESS between 9 and 135 g CO2eq/kWhd. Surprisingly, BESSs using NMC showed lower emissions for 1 kWhd than BESSs using LFP.
