Updated: 2025-09-22

Three of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Science and Technology "Breakthrough" projects undertaken by the Baotou Research Institute of Rare Earths have been launched recently, marking a crucial step in the research and development of rare earth application technology in related fields of Baotou Steel Group Co.

The research institute focuses on the urgent demand for new materials with excellent conductivity and high-strength mechanical properties in the power system. For the "Research and Development of High Abundance Rare Earth Aluminum Alloy Wire Materials and Application Technology for Power Systems" project, the institute utilizes rare earth specific trace elements to design and develop new high-performance rare earth aluminum alloy conductive materials, achieving the industrial development and demonstration application of rare earth aluminum alloy wire products and providing key material support for increasing the efficiency of China's power transmission system.

The "Preparation and Industrialization Development of Light Conversion Thin Films for White LED" project is based on the existing scientific and technological achievements of the institute, and carries out material preparation and industrialization development. By breaking through the key technology of light conversion materials in white LED lighting, it can obtain large-scale preparation technology and build a complete industrial demonstration line.

The project "Preparation Technology and Industrialization of High Purity Rare Earth Metals/Special Alloys and Their Target Materials for Advanced Functional Materials" focuses on the demand for high-purity rare earth basic materials in the field of advanced functional materials. Using Inner Mongolia's abundant rare earth resources, it consists of research on key technologies and equipment for the preparation of high-purity rare earth metals, special rare earth alloys and target materials, achieving large-scale preparation and creating a high-level industrialization demonstration line.

The institute will focus on the goal of "technological breakthroughs, achievement transformation, and industrial empowerment", coordinate and link resources from industry, academia, research, and application to accelerate project technology breakthroughs and industrial applications, promote rapid implementation of achievements, and assist Baotou Steel Group Co in transforming rare earth resource advantages into industrial advantages and innovation advantages, contributing to the high-end development of the rare earth industry.
