Rare earth elements are helping drive the global transition towards a greener economy. However, the way in which they are produced is far from being considered green. One of the major obstacles to developing greener production methods and the design of novel processes and materials involving rare earth elements is the limited thermodynamic data available. In the present work, we apply a suite of methods to estimate the enthalpy of formation of several rare earth compounds, including a new method based on a linear relationship, established by the authors. Experimental values of the enthalpy of formation of LnCl3, LnOCl, LnPO4, Ln2O2S, Ln2O2CO3 and NaLnO2 were collated and used to assess the accuracy of the different methods, which were then used to predict values for compounds for which no data exists. It is shown that Mostafa et al.'s group contribution method and the linear relationship proposed by the authors give the lowest mean absolute error (<9%). The volume based thermodynamics (VBT) method yields estimates with absolute mean errors below 16.0% for LnPO4 and Ln2O2S, but above 26.0% for other compounds. Correction of the VBT method using an improved estimate of the Madelung energy for the calculation of the lattice enthalpy decreases the absolute mean error below 12.0% for all compounds except LnPO4. These complementary methods provide options for calculating the enthalpy of formation of rare earth compounds, depending on the experimental data available and desired accuracy.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
