A Green and Efficient Technology to Recover Rare Earth Elements
|
|
|
The feasibility is demonstrated via bench-scale, scaled-up and on-site field experiments. Compared with conventional techniques, EKM achieves ~2.6 times higher recovery efficiency, an ~80% decrease in leaching agent usage and a ~70% reduction in metallic impurities in the obtained REEs. As an additional benefit, the results point to an autonomous purification mechanism for REE enrichment (Read more) |

Cerium flow batteries to advance grid-scale energy storage
|
|
|
Researchers from the University of Michigan have discovered why cerium flow batteries that have a sulphuric acid electrolyte lose voltage. This is set to pave the way for better battery chemistry. Flow batteries are a potential method for storing intermittent sources of renewable energy, such as solar and wind power. They can store large quantities of energy by keeping the chemical potential in liquid form, with two electrolytes that flow through porous electrodes to charge and discharge. Cerium has the potential to store energy at a high voltage, meaning more energy per metal ion, and at a low cost (Read more) |

Electric Vehicle Market Update: Q3 2022 in Review
|
|
|
Last year, sales of electric vehicles doubled from the previous year to a new record of 6.6 million, with nearly 10 percent of global car sales being electric. Growing regions such as Europe saw continued interest from consumers, while in leading country China more electric vehicles were sold than global electric vehicle sales in 2020, according to the International Energy Agency (Read more) |

BYD Rolls Off its 3 Millionth New Energy Vehicle and Debuts a New Passenger Car Brand Matrix
|
|
|
BYD reached the mark of having made 3 million electric cars and plug-in hybrids on 16 November. BYD took 13 years to get the first milestone of 1 million of the so-called New Energy Vehicles. From 1 million to 2 million, it took only one year, and from 2 million to 3 million only six months (Read more) |

The Guardian view on Britain’s electric vehicle industry: slow-motion car crash
|
|
|
To put this depressing story in its proper perspective, it has been estimated that 41 gigafactories are either operational or planned in western Europe, compared with just three in Britain (and that’s if Britishvolt is optimistically included). Governments in Germany, France and elsewhere have spent billions of euros to attract leading battery manufacturers, who will be fundamental to 21st-century car production (Read more) |

Energy islands coming to Europe’s seas
|
|
|
Europe’s 30 GW of offshore wind farms are nearly all connected to the energy system through subsea power cables that run from each individual wind farm back to mother country. In the not-too-distant future many of them will connect to new “energy islands” which will centralise the transmission of the energy they produce. Some of these islands will also connect to each other and help improve energy flows between countries in Europe (Read more) |

The Metals Inside Your iPhone Are More Precious Than You Thought: Here's Why
|
|
|
Many people around the world use rare earth elements, or REE, every day -- without even knowing it since they're hidden in common personal electronics. If you use an iPhone, an REE called lanthanum helps make sure the screen has a vivid color pop, while neodymium and dysprosium are credited for helping the device vibrate, among other uses. In electric cars, magnets, which are used to help power the vehicle, rely heavily on rare earths such as neodymium (Read more) |

Can China and the US Cooperate on Climate Change?
|
|
|
At last year’s U.N. climate change conference in Glasgow, the signing of a rushed joint China-U.S. action plan surprised observers. In an equally surprising encore, the two major powers’ “double act” during an EU-U.S. sponsored ministerial meeting at COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh has been nothing short of a welcome sign for both observers and diplomats (Read more) |
