[PDF Version]Solar energy investments can meet energy targets and environmental protection by reducing carbon emissions while having no detrimental influence on the country's development [32, 34]. In countries located in the 'Sunbelt', there is huge potential for solar energy, where there is a year-round abundance of solar global horizontal irradiation.
In this study, the impacts of PV solar power plants on the environment will be investigated. Some of the most significant environmental impacts of PV solar power plants are related to land use, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), water consumption, hazardous materials, visual impact, and noise .
The environmental impacts of solar energy vary widely depending on the technology, which is divided into two basic categories: PV solar power plants and concentrating solar thermal plants (CSP) . In this study, the impacts of PV solar power plants on the environment will be investigated.
But just like any industrial product, the manufacturing of solar cells and panels has some health and environmental impacts. Harmful and flammable materials are used in the manufacturing process, although in small quantities, but can still involve environmental and industrial risks.
Environmental impacts of solar PV and solar thermal are summarized. Thin film photovoltaics (TFPVs) can be recycled using large metal smelters. Toxic cadmium can be controlled through temperature and concentration. Factors impeding the commercialization of Solar PVs and thermal systems are presented.
Solar energy would help steady energy prices and give numerous social, environmental and economic benefits. This has been indicated by solar energy's contribution to achieving sustainable development through meeting energy demands, creating jobs and protecting the environment.

[PDF Version]Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for electric vehicles are becoming more popular due to their low cost, high energy density, and good thermal safety ( Li et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2022a ). However, the number of discarded batteries is also increasing.
The literature data were associated with three macro-areas—Asia, Europe, and the USA—considering common LIBs (nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP)). The GWP (kgCO 2eq /kg) values were higher for use compared to raw material mining, production, and end of life management for hydrometallurgy or pyrometallurgy.
As the market stabilizes and the price of lithium carbonate returns to previous levels, the costs of Process E are expected to decrease. In addition, Process E produces lithium iron phosphate, which can be used directly as a cathode material.
The acid-free extraction process is generally the most recommended currently. Potential performance changes are projected based on trends in China's energy mix. Recycling end-of-life lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are critical to mitigating pollution and recouping valuable resources.
However, using lithium iron phosphate batteries instead could save about 1.5 GtCO 2 eq. Further, recycling can reduce primary supply requirements and 17–61% of emissions. This study is vital for global clean energy strategies, technology innovation, and achieving a net-zero future.
The literature mostly investigated batteries, including graphite anodes [9, 10] combined with cathodes made of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NMC), lithium iron phosphate (LFP), lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA), lithium manganese oxide (LMO), and lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) .
