source:AZO NANORecently, rare earth elements (REE) have become a fundamental part of advanced industries. However, industries suffer a shortage in REE materials, predominantly due to the lack of robust recovery strategies associated with sustainable REE removal. Scientists have used nanotechnology to develop nanocellulose that can effectively recover REE, using a novel and sustainable method.Besides being useful in traditional sectors, rare earth elements are useful metals in many futuristic industries, such as lasers, fluorescent lamps, atomic batteries, engine turbines, and super magnets.At ...
