Adapted from: Volkswagen, 2021. Typically, 1 kWh of energy storage requires 0.28 kg of lithium metal equivalent, only about 2-3% of the battery weight. Almost a third of the weight of a lithium-ion battery is made up of aluminium (casing); the weight of the graphite anode accounts for around another 18%.
In real life here on Earth, a group of natural metals known as the rare earths has made possible our own technology-powered society. Demand for these crucial components in nearly all modern ...
Collectively, the rare earths rank as the 22nd most abundant "element" (at the 68th percentile mark). The non- lanthanide rare-earth elements, yttrium and scandium, are 29th and 44th, respectively, in their abundances. Lanthanum and the light lanthanides (cerium through europium) are more abundant than the heavy lanthanides ( gadolinium ...
Beijing denies the claim. China''s rare earths regulations also come as the EU gears up to impose provisional tariffs on Chinese EVs on July 4 to protect the 27-state bloc from what it says is a ...
A new report by the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (Ademe) shows that rare earth minerals are not widely used in solar energy and battery storage technologies. And despite their ...

Electric motors and turbines are an integral part of decarbonization. While these technologies may not directly produce carbon emissions, many of them require …
Among them, Promethium (Pm) is the only rare earth element, which does not occur naturally (De Lima and Leal Filho, 2015). Due to the similar geochemical behavior of Y and Sc to the lanthanides (Sc only in aqueous medium), they are also considered as REEs ( McLennan and Taylor, 2012, Voncken, 2016 ).
Rare earth elements (REE) include the lanthanide series elements (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) plus Sc and Y. Currently these …
