source:C&ENThe rare-earth elements (REEs) include the 15 lanthanides, along with scandium and yttrium, and many are in high demand for products such as electric vehicles, wind turbines, and light-emitting diodes. Although most REEs are not particularly rare, they tend to be spread thinly throughout Earth’s crust rather than concentrated in a single place, which limits opportunities for mining them at scale. And the elements are often found together in the ground and share similar chemistry, requiring separation processes that involve large amounts of energy and organic solvents.These diffi...

source:Global Mining ReviewUcore is focused on developing rare earth processing technologies through its ALASKA2023 project, with the goal of fostering an independent American REE supply chain and aims to secure a US-allied REE feedstock source. The ALASKA2023 project focuses on developing a Strategic Metals Complex (SMC) heavy rare earth element (HREE) and light rare earth element (LREE) separation plant in Southeast Alaska, using Innovation Metal Corp.’s (IMC) proprietary RapidSX? critical metals separation technology platform. On 7 October 2021 Ucore announced the execution of a Memorandum ...

source:EurekAlertSince graphene was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2010, two-dimensional (2D) materials have continued to attract researchers' attention in logic, storage, optoelectronic and photonic 2D device manufacturing fields because of the atomic thickness and excellent performance. Based on the research of graphene, scientists have discovered some other 2D materials, such as layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and non-layered III–V group semiconductors.Recently, 2D rare earth oxides (REOs) have arisen as a unique and promising non-layered mat...
