Technology Licensing Opportunity: Room-Temperature Electrochemical Metallization of Rare Earth Elements

This opportunity invites interested parties to license a newly developed, room‑temperature electrochemical process for producing metallic rare‑earth elements (REEs) without the high‑energy, hazardous fused‑salt methods currently in use. The technology leverages novel electrolyte chemistry and interfacial structuring to enable scalable, low‑energy REE electrodeposition, potentially opening a domestic supply chain for critical materials used in magnets, defense systems, aerospace alloys, electronics, and advanced batteries. • Provides a low‑energy, low‑hazard alternative to conventional 600‑1200 °C molten‑salt electrolysis. • Targets multiple REEs (e.g., neodymium, samarium, dysprosium, terbium) with a platform that can be adapted for various industrial applications. • Licensing can support U.S. manufacturers and defense contractors seeking to reduce reliance on imported REE sources and lower environmental compliance costs.
