Abstract

With the changing needs in the digital world, more environmentally friendly technologies are needed. Lithium-ion batteries have an important place in the list of such environmentally friendly technologies that people turn to The most important factor in choosing lithium-ion batteries is that lithium is a strategic raw material and provides a sustainable efficiency in vehicles. The negative effects of fossil fuel-consuming vehicles on the environment and the depletion of resources are known. For this reason, the trend towards vehicles developed using renewable technologies such as lithium-ion batteries is increasing. Lithium-ion batteries are also a very high source of energy efficiency, as they contain lithium, a strategic raw material, and have useful, recyclable and recyclable features. This energy source is not only a sustainable environmental technology for humans, but also an economic value that will contribute to raw material recycling. These energy source batteries, which can be used in electric vehicles, are an important technological development that has a great role in reducing the air pollution caused by fossil fuel-based vehicles. Our country is insufficient in terms of lithium reserves and imports this resource. Finally, in this study, solution suggestions will be presented for the efficient use of lithium-ion batteries in the national economy.
