Modulating Oxygen Vacancies via Ag Induced Interfacial Electron Transfer in SnO2 for CO2 Electroreduction

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Regulating oxygen vacancies (Ov) in SnO2 to facilitate high‐efficiency carbon dioxide electroreduction reduction reaction (CO2RR) is still a significant challenge. Therefore, a strategy based on Ag‐induced interfacial electron transfer was proposed to modulate Ov in SnO2 for CO2 electroreduction. The prepared Ag/SnO2 with an optimal Ov content

Template‐Assisted Construction of Atomically Dispersed Fe‐N‐C Catalysts With Dense Fe‐N4C Sites for Enhanced Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Atomically dispersed iron–nitrogen–carbon (Fe‐N‐C) catalysts have emerged as promising alternatives for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) owing to their highly atomic utilization. However, maintaining both Fe atomic dispersion and dense Fe‐Nx sites (typically below 2 wt%) in Fe‐N‐C catalysts is still a key challenge.
