Rapid Removal of Binder From Spent Lithium‐Ion Batteries by Microwave Radiation for Enhanced Flotation Separation of Anode and Cathode Materials

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Achieving rapid and selective separation of anode and cathode materials remains a critical challenge in the recycling of spent lithium‐ion batteries. This study develops a microwave‐enhanced flotation strategy for the efficient recovery of cathode and anode materials.

Predictive M‐Site Design of MAX‐Derived CoNi Composites: Dual‐Scale TaC + L12 Strengthening Enabled by Rare Metal Ta

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In MAX‐phase‐derived metal–matrix composites, the M‐site element simultaneously governs carbide chemistry and matrix precipitate stability, yet it has traditionally been selected empirically rather than from a predictive criterion linking M‐site choice to carbide chemistry, matrix alloying, and L12 stability; moreover, the reaction pathway ...

Synchronous Ultrasonic Impact Treatment for Regulating Microstructure and Properties of Laser‐Directed Energy Deposited In Situ TiC/Ti6Al4V Composites

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In laser‐directed energy deposition (LDED) of TiC/Ti6Al4V composites, a low content of micron‐sized TiC provides a good strengthening effect on hardness and strength, but the improvement in plasticity remains a challenge. By introducing synchronous ultrasonic impact treatment (UIT) into the LDED process, an ultrasonic‐assisted LDED (UA‐LDED ...

Organ‐specific ozone and nitrogen legacies strengthen substrate control over litter decomposition

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2548-2559, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Elevated tropospheric ozone (O3) and nitrogen (N) deposition are concurrent atmospheric changes that strongly influence terrestrial carbon cycling, yet their combined effects on below‐ground decomposition remain poorly understood.

Recovering Critical Elements From Wastewater for Battery Materials: A Review

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Driven by global carbon neutrality goals, the transition toward a circular economy and sustainable resource management has become increasingly imperative. Given the indispensable role of battery technologies in modern energy storage systems, strategic elements such as lithium (Li), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni)—identified by the European ...

Policy, Waste, and Power: Textile Dumping in Chile's Atacama Desert

Latin American Policy, Volume 17, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, 87% of textile fibers end up incinerated or in landfills, with Chile bearing the brunt of this crisis. Every year, 39,000 tons of discarded clothing are illegally dumped in the Atacama Desert, turning it into a sacrifice zone for the Global North's waste economy.

High‐Value Targeted Conversion of Copper Slag as LiFePO4 Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The massive stockpiling of copper slag (CS) presents severe environmental and resource‐waste challenges. Existing strategies for CS valorization typically yield low‐value‐added products. Herein, we propose an innovative hierarchical regulation approach to transform CS into high‐performance LiFePO4 (LFP) cathode materials.

Velocity‐Iterative Directional Annealing Enables Ultra‐Elongated Columnar Grains and Exceptional Ductility in TiAl Alloys

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study introduces a novel velocity‐iterative directional annealing (IDA) strategy to overcome stagnation challenges in columnar grain growth of Ti‐48Al‐2Cr‐2Nb alloys. By dynamically adjusting hot zone migration rates across iterative cycles, the IDA protocol achieved 92.2% synchronization between anisotropic α‐grain boundary (GB ...

Mistimed surveys lead to underestimated migratory bird impacts from wind farms

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Current guidance and approaches to surveying migratory birds at windfarm developments in Australia are insufficient. Evidence‐based alignment with seasonal presence is needed to improve biodiversity assessment standards, ensuring renewable energy expansion proceeds in a way that better safeguards migratory species and supports global biodiversity and ...

Multi‐barcoding‐based species identification using a hierarchical attention network with staged curriculum learning

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1143-1160, April 2026.
Abstract DNA barcode‐based species identification has become pivotal in biodiversity research. Current barcoding‐based deep learning methods have advantages in species identification but exhibit significant limitations. By using COI barcoding alone, previous studies were unable to fully capture species identification features. Prior methods showed that
