Efficient Photocatalytic Removal of Toluene by Synergistic FeCe/TiO2: Performance and Mechanism

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Efficient removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in confined spaces is crucial for environments such as spacecraft and deep‐sea submarines. Metal modification is an effective strategy to enhance the light absorption capacity of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and suppress the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers.

Synergetic Ruthenium Clusters and Ligand Motifs in Insoluble Polyoxometalates for Efficient Urea Electrosynthesis

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The electrocatalytic co‐reduction of CO2 and nitrate (NO3− ${\text{NO}}_{3}^{-}$) to synthesize urea presents a sustainable alternative to traditional industrial processes, yet its efficiency is fundamentally limited by the kinetically mismatched activation and coupling of CO2 and NO3− ${\text{NO}}_{3}^{-}$.

Hierarchical VO2@BiVO4 Films Decorated With Porous BiVO4 Nanoplates for Durable and Self‐Cleaning Smart Windows

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT VO2 is a promising thermochromic material, but it is still limited by low transparency, weak solar modulation, and poor stability. Here, we develop a coordination‐compound‐derived strategy to construct a hierarchical BiVO4/VO2@BiVO4 film with a core–shell@nanosheet structure.
