The potential risks from metals bottlenecks to the deployment of Strategic Energy Technologies [PDF]

open access: yesEnergy Policy, 2013
This paper examines the use of materials, in particular metals, in six low-carbon energy technologies of the European Union’s Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan), namely: nuclear, solar, wind, bioenergy, carbon capture and storage and electricity

Strategic Doping in Metal Halide Perovskites for Thermoelectrics

Advanced Functional Materials, 2023
AbstractMetal halide perovskites (MHPs) have not only shown unique merits of ultralow thermal conductivity compared to traditional inorganic thermoelectric (TE) materials, but also featured superior Seebeck effect to organic semiconductors, thereby affording great prospect in TE field.

Rare and Strategic Metals

2014
In western countries, an increasing share of metals is imported. While the supply of metals used in everyday products requires to be reduced, many economic sectors could be considerably affected. A distinction should be made between base metals (iron, copper, zinc, lead…) and rare metals, little known to the general public, and yet at the heart of high

Granitic Pegmatites as Sources of Strategic Metals

Elements, 2012
Rare-element granitic pegmatites are well recognized for the diversity and concentrations of metal ores that they host. The supply of some of these elements is of concern, and the European Commission recently designated metals such as tantalum and niobium as “critical materials” or “strategic resources.” Field relationships, mineral chemistry, and ...

Strategic metal deposits of the Arctic Zone

Geology of Ore Deposits, 2015
Mineral commodities rank high in the economies of Arctic countries, and the status of mineral resources and the dynamics of their development are of great importance. The growing tendency to develop strategic metal resources in the Circumarctic Zone is outlined in a global perspective.

Strategic role of selected noble metal nanoparticles in medicine

Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2015
Noble metals and their compounds have been used as therapeutic agents from the ancient time in medicine for the treatment of various infections. Recently, much progress has been made in the field of nanobiotechnology towards the development of different kinds of nanomaterials with a wide range of applications. Among the metal nanoparticles, noble metal

FINNISH NICKEL AS A STRATEGIC METAL, 1920–19441

Scandinavian Journal of History, 2007
Petsamo nickel in Northern Finland became a bargaining chip in the Great Powers' political game before and during the Second World War. ‘Weak states’ such as Finland had room to pursue their own interests both in the cartelized interwar military markets and especially during the Second World War. Despite the common assumption of weakness on the part of

New approaches to forecasting large deposits of strategic metals

VM Novitates, 2023
Synthesis of the obtained materials by sources of metals, agents of their transportation and areas of deposition or accumulation of ores makes it possible to zone the most promising territories to identify new large deposits of strategic metals. As a result of research the main ore-forming systems – sources of strategic metals are identified; a ...

Recycling of metals from urban mines – a strategic evaluation

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2016
Urban mining has attracted increasing attention as a research topic, owing to the high growth rate, environmental issues, and market potential of waste generated in urban areas. Metal recovery from such waste has become increasingly important especially in accordance with the concept of metal criticality.
