Scandium is a squishy metallic chemical component that was recently classified as a rare earth source. Scandium iodide is utilized in film and photographic lamps as it assists in producing light with a similar tone to daylight. It is additionally utilized in metal-halide lamps, which are progressively being utilized more than mercury-vapors lamps due to their better efficiency. It is generally stable in air, although it gradually changes color from silvery white to a yellowish look due to surface development. In diluted acids, the metal dissolves rather slowly besides hydrofluoric acid. The huge advantages offered by the utilization of SOFC-based fuel cells as substitutions for internal combustion engines in light-duty vehicles and distribution center forklifts are to build vehicle productivity and backing objectives of decreasing oil use and discharges from the transportation area, which is probably going to bring about a significant expansion in sending fuel cells in the country.

The quick spread and threat from the COVID-19 infection are expected to take a toll on not only the financial growth and occupation, but can deteriorate the development of the manufacturing area and different other end-user industries in the short/mid-term, dialing back the recently anticipated demand for scandium across the globe.
