Rare earth elements (REEs) including neodymium, dysprosium, and cerium enable six critical applications in renewable energy: high-efficiency wind turbine magnets, EV traction motors, thin-film solar cell coatings, lithium-ion battery enhancers, green hydrogen electrolyzer catalysts, and low-emission catalytic converters.
Energy storage devices and, most significantly, new-generation batteries are critical to balancing energy supply and demand in renewable energy systems. REEs are key to the manufacture of these batteries, e.g., lithium-ion batteries, being used heavily across applications from electric vehicles to grid storage.
Rare earth element incorporated material for supercapacitor 4.1. Rare earth doped/composite material for supercapacitor Supercapacitor aims at high power density devices. Nevertheless, the energy density is still important for supercapacitors. RE doping showed positive effect on enhancing the capacitance of the electrode materials.
Zhao et al. discussed the current research on electrode/electrolyte materials using rare earth elements in modern energy storage systems such as Li/Na ion batteries, Li‑sulphur batteries, supercapacitors, rechargeable Ni/Zn batteries, and the feasibility of using REEs in future cerium-based redox flow batteries.
Cerium redox is promising in future energy storage. Rare earth is a group of elements with unique properties. Discovering the application of rare earth elements in advanced energy storage field is a great chance to relate rare earth chemistry with the energy storage technology.
