Rare earth elements (REE), with their distinct physical and chemical properties, are critical components of green economic development. Intensive exploitation and application of REE are wreaking havoc on the environment. But research on REE is still limited to a small number and in a few countries. With the growing interest of REE in modern technologies and their potential ecological risks, phytoextraction seems promising for both REE pollution reduction and resource circulation. This paper summarizes the recent findings in the literature concerning REE hyperaccumulating plants and relevant accumulation mechanisms. Additional interests should be focused on a broader range of plant species and a global scale to achieve a sustainable REE supply.
Keywords: Dicranopteris pedata(Dicranopteris dichotoma); hyperaccumulator; phytoextraction; Rare earth elements(REEs)
