Most importantly, there are 17 rare earth elements and none of them are named lithium, cobalt, manganese, or any of the other key components of a lithium-ion battery.
Their relatively simple synthetic method, high stability and deformability can be very advantageous for the promising applications in all solid state lithium ion batteries. As a series of very unique elements in the periodic table, rare earths have found versatile applications in luminescence, magnetism and catalysis.
In addition, recently synthesized rare earths halide materials have high ionic conductivities (10−3 S/cm) influenced by the synthetic process and constituent. Their relatively simple synthetic method, high stability and deformability can be very advantageous for the promising applications in all solid state lithium ion batteries.
Simply put, the minerals used to make lithium-ion batteries so promising may be mislabeled “rare earth” due to their difficulty to access however, few if any of them are actually rare. If they were, wouldn’t you think we’d be having a longer conversation about how people will survive one day without a mobile phone or laptop?
As framing elements or dopants, rare earths with unique properties play a very important role in the area of solid lithium conductors. This review summarizes the role of rare earths in different types of solid electrolyte systems and highlights the applications of rare-earth elements in all solid state batteries. 1. Introduction
Rare earth doping in electrode materials The mostly reported RE incorporation in lithium/sodium battery is doping RE elements in the electrode. The lattice of the electrode material will be significantly distorted due to the large ionic radius and complex coordination of RE. Besides, this usually leads to smaller crystallites.
