Abstracts

Scandium is present in most deposits of rare-earth and uranium compounds but is extracted from these ores in only a few mines worldwide. Its major application is in aluminum-scandium alloys, where it improves the properties of the alloy, especially in the aerospace industry. The global scandium market is anticipated to increase by USD 271.2 million till 2029 at an average annual growth of 6.6 percent as per the latest market estimates.

Scandium is used as a dopant or additive in the manufacturing of SOFCs. It is added to the electrolyte or cathode materials to enhance their performance and stability. Scandium oxide (Sc2O3) is the most commonly used form of scandium in SOFC applications. Scandium doping in SOFC materials improves their ionic conductivity, which is crucial for efficient operation. It helps to lower the operating temperature of SOFCs, making them more efficient and reducing the need for expensive materials like yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). This can lead to cost savings and improved overall performance of SOFCs.
