This paper provides significant new insights into Sodium-ion and Lithium-ion batteries’ environmental impact. Lithiumion batteries are used in commercials on a large scale. However, lithium-ion batteries are used less than sodium batteries. Considering that Sodium-ion batteries technology is not as advanced as Lithium. Sodium-ion batteries may have the potential to replace Lithium-ion batteries. According to commercial data, batteries are widely used in different areas because of their significant use in the renewable field, such as electric cars or energy storage projects. The battery has become a significant component in the renewable area. In that case, we will discuss which kind of battery will be better, especially the environmental impact. If the public cloud analyzes which battery is better, we will benefit from replacing batteries. First, the paper will discuss the environmental impact of five aspects: water pollution, Solid pollution, Raw material, Recycling, and Gas emissions. Second, according to the five aspects, we will use method AHP to analyze which battery is better. After AHP, the conclusion of which batteries are better regarding environmental impact will be given.
