On the environmental competitiveness of Sodium-Ion batteries under a full life cycle perspective – A cell-chemistry specific modelling approach

This upload provides the full supplementary information and the MS-Excel based cell dimenioning tool used in the underlying publication (Environmental impacts of Sodium-Ion Batteries – Advances in production, use and recyclability) It is based on the BatPac-Tool created by Argonne National Laboratories, but with some substantial modifications: Reduction to dimensioning on battery cell leve, with no need to define a whole vehicle battery pack Inclusion of a detailed and cell-chemistry specific recycling model Automatic generation of inventory tables for life cycle assessmen The tool is free to use and to update as long as the underlying original publication is cited properly In addition, the inventory data used for calculating the results are also provided as JSON-LD files for direct import into openLCA and in ILCD format for import into other LCA software.

The LCI is based on ecoinvent 3.7; use with other ecoinvent versions might require re-linking of flows. | This work was funded by the European Union s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Grant Agreement No. 754382 and by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) under Germany´s Excellence Strategy – EXC 2154 – Project number 390874152.
