The societal transformation from fossil fuel-based energy sources to ecologically friendly energy sources has sparked the development and utilization of electric (and hybrid) vehicles and electric generators for wind turbines, among others. Permanent magnets are essential components of these technologies. &#13;\n&#13;\nOver the years, the production of NdFeB permanent magnets has surpassed all other kinds because of their low cost and improved magnetic properties. The rare-earth elements (REEs)
