DeepCeLaTM Rare Earth Innovation Institute – The new engine leading the future material revolution
The Rare Earth Innovation Research Institute has officially kicked off! With the mission of “cracking the rare earth code and defining the future of materials”, we gather the world’s top scientific research forces to build an open and collaborative international rare earth materials research and development ecosystem. This place is not only an incubator for technology, but also the source of industrial transformation.
Objective and Mission
- Frontier Exploration: Focusing on ten cutting-edge directions such as rare earth nanomaterials, biomedical materials, and green catalytic technology, breaking through the performance limits of materials;
- Industrial empowerment: Establish a full-chain service system covering “market demand – technological breakthroughs – pilot-scale verification – commercial application”, and incubate over 30 industrial-level solutions annually.
- Multi-academy collaboration: It’s not just the Chinese Academy of Sciences. We have joined forces with multiple universities and research institutions to achieve cross-regional technological relay
Future Vision
From a catalyst for the new energy revolution to a guardian of life and health; From the cornerstone materials for industrial upgrading to the green solutions for environmental restoration, DeepCeLaTM Rare Earth Innovation Research Institute will continue to be guided by the “Four Orientations” (facing the forefront of world science and technology, facing the main economic battlefield, facing major national needs, and facing people’s health) to reshape the industrial value dimension of rare earth materials.
Join us and jointly write the next chapter of rare earth to change the world!

About Rare earth
Rare earth lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), lutetium (Lu), scandium (Sc) and yttrium (Y) a total of 17 elements. It includes light rare earths (lanthanum La, cerium Ce, praseodymium Pr, neodymium Nd, promethium Pm, samarium Sm, europium Eu) and heavy rare earths (gadolinium Gd, terbium Tb, prosium Dy, mium Ho, erbium Er, thulium Tm, ytterbium Yb, lutetium Lu). Rare earths are mainly applied in fields such as petroleum, chemical engineering, metallurgy, textile, ceramics and glass, and permanent magnetic materials. It is hailed as the “industrial monosodium glutamate”, “industrial vitamin” and “Mother of new materials”, and is a precious strategic metal resource.
Rare earth elements have typical metallic properties due to their unique 4f electron structure. Rare earth elements in metallic form have good electrical conductivity, ductility and metallic luster, low ignition points, active chemical properties, and are prone to react with other elements. They can almost form stable compounds with all non-metallic elements. Their oxides have very high melting points and come in a variety of colors. Its metallic reactivity is second only to alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, and the reactivity increases in order of atomic number. In addition, it also has unique electrical, magnetic, optical and catalytic properties. Rare earth elements are lithophiles. They commonly exist in the form of oxides, silicates, phosphates, phosphosilicates, fluorocarbons and fluorides, and often coexist with other elements in minerals.
According to industry predictions, with the continuous development of technology and the continuous expansion of industry, rare earth materials are increasingly widely used in fields such as electronics, automobiles, aerospace, and new energy. Meanwhile, biomedicine, solid-state batteries, 6G communications, high-temperature superconductivity, hydrogen energy, and quantum computing will become the explosive growth points of rare earth materials. For instance, the annual growth rate of demand for lanthanide solid electrolytes exceeds 50%, and the usage of praseodymium-neodymium magnets in the wind power sector has soared.
Scientific Research Platform
The public platform for material composition analysis, the spectral analysis and testing platform, the micro-nano structure analysis platform, the crystal phase material analysis platform, the material physical property detection platform, the optoelectronic functional material detection platform and the optoelectronic device processing detection platform have been established, and have already possessed certain scientific research service capabilities.
