It does this because heating cerium oxide drives oxygen atoms out of its crystal lattice .

其工作原理是，铈氧化物加热后可以把氧原子从其原有的晶体点阵上剥离出来。

But if ames lab can make something in between for electric vehicles and wind turbines , cerium can help conserve neodymium .

但是如果埃姆斯实验室能够将铈磁体应用于电动汽车和风力涡轮机，铈就可以帮助节约钕。

In fact , japanese imports of certain key chinese rare earths , including the oxides lanthanum and cerium , actually rose in 2010 from the previous year .

事实上，2010年日本从中国进口的某些关键稀土元素，包括镧和铈的氧化物实际上较前一年有所增加。

Mccallum is trying to find an element , such as hydrogen or nitrogen , to mix with cerium that will keep cerium 's problematic electron from misbehaving .

麦卡勒姆正寻找一种诸如氢或氮元素同铈混合，使得铈的电子稳定。

He cited the glass industry , which has replaced its consumption of cerium with selenium over the past year as prices of the rare earth rose to $ 135 per kilo currently from just $ 3.88 per kilo in 2009 .

他举例说，去年玻璃行业就用硒取代了铈，因为后者的价格从2009年的每公斤3.88美元涨到现在的135美元。
