source:Science NewsThe intermittent supply of green electricity requires large-scale storage to keep our power grids stable. Since normal batteries do not scale very well, the idea of using flow batteries, which store electricity in a fluid is attractive. However, these batteries contain rare metals and are expensive. Scientists at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, have designed a flow battery electrolyte that may solve both problems. Their results were published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society on 8 March.Flow batteries are not very different from the everyday batte...

source:The West AustralianASX-listed ABx Group appears to have expanded its rare earths footprint in Tasmania after uncovering its fourth discovery on the island State. The new prospect, called ‘Rubble Mound’ sits about six kilometres east of the company’s Deep Leads rare earths project and boasts grades of up to 1,620 parts per million total rare earth oxides or “TREO”. ABx says the find along with a newly secured tenement ensures it controls a rare earth province that spans at least 52km wide.According to the company, the preliminary drill results from Rubble Mound are comparable to that of ...

source:Eos.science News Rare earth elements (REEs) are vital components of everyday life, found in electronics from laptops to solar panels. The United States currently sources most of its rare earth elements from mines controlled by China, but concerns over China’s dominance in the market—and the environmental costs of mining—have spurred the U.S. Department of Energy to invest millions of dollars in research into alternative sourcing options.In a new study published in Science Advances, researchers at Rice University presented one promising alternative to mining. They developed a method...
