Schematic illustration of energy storage devices using rare earth element incorporated electrodes including lithium/sodium ion battery, lithium-sulfur battery, rechargeable alkaline battery, supercapacitor, and redox flow battery. Standard redox potential values of rare earth elements.
The use of REEs in modern technologies has grown because their properties enable serious technical advantages such as performing at reduced energy consumption, greater efficiency, miniaturisation, speed, durability and thermal stability (Balaram, 2019). Some products require a single element of rare earths, while others require a mixture of REEs.
There has been an increasing interest in rare earth elements due to their use in many advanced technologies, including low-carbon technology, mainly in wind turbine generators and electric vehicle motors.
Demand for rare earth elements (REEs) – primarily for EV motors and wind turbines – grows threefold in the STEPS and more than sevenfold in the SDS by 2040. For most minerals, the share of clean energy technologies in total demand was minuscule until the mid-2010s, but the picture is rapidly changing.
In December 2021, Energy Fuels announced the development, in partnership with Nanoscale Powders LLC, of environmentally friendly technology for manufacturing rare earth metals. The innovative technology uses a process that makes REE metals from oxides through molten sodium reduction of anhydrous REE chlorides.
According to the International Energy Agency, demand for rare earth elements is expected to reach three to seven times current levels by 2040; demand for other critical minerals such as lithium may multiply 40-fold.
