Renewable energy and the role of molten salts and carbon by Fray D.

“…Recently, dimensionally stable anodes have been developed for molten salt electrolytes, based upon alkali or alkaline ruthenates which are highly electronically conducting and these may allow the concept of high temperature batteries to be developed in which an alkali or alkaline earth element reacts with air to form oxides when the battery is discharging and the oxide decomposes when the battery is being recharged. …”

Diagenetic Fluid and Its Impact on Sandstone Reservoirs in the Southern Boxing Sag, Dongying Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, China by Zhenhuan Shen, Zhuang Ruan, Bingsong Yu, Shujun Han, Chenyang Bai, Qiuhong Chang, Tianxia An

“…Fe-calcite and ankerite cements have a higher homogenization temperature than that of quartz overgrowth and mainly concentrate in FeO and MgO as well as contain a small amount of Na+, K+, and Sr2+. The rare earth element (REE) pattern of bulk mudstone and carbonate cements as well as C–O isotopic evidences indicate that the diagenetic fluids of carbonate cementation are primarily controlled by the adjacent mudstone, whereas mineral dissolution and altered clay minerals in sandstone provide additional cations for the local reprecipitation of late-stage carbonate. …”

Reserves and extraction of rare earth metals and elements as a key factor in the renewable energy sector development at the the world economy transformation current stage by R. D. Mingaleeva

“…At the same time, for output of the wide range of products for the renewable energy sector, as well as for the development of energy depot systems, it is necessary to use rare earth elements and metals in production. The results of the analysis of data on reserves, production and calculated values of the resource availability coefficient of rare earth elements and metals shows that at the existing level of production, the proven reserves of cobalt will last for ≈ 50 years, lithium– for ≈ 200 years and rare earth elements – for ≈ 450 years, respectively, which leads to a limitation of the global transition speed to renewable energy sources and makes it necessary to look for new technical solutions.…”
