Description
Li and co-authors review in 2026 how rare earth elements can improve carbon parts inside a type of large battery. The battery stores energy in liquid tanks and suits grid scale use. Its plain carbon parts react too slowly and wear out in strong acid, which cuts how well the battery works.
Rare earths bring traits that can tune the carbon surface and speed the key reactions. The review sums up main design paths, gains seen so far, and how the boost works. One treated felt raised energy yield by about a tenth in tests. The authors also note what still blocks wide use and where work should go next.
