Lignin‐Derived Carbon Quantum Dots as Hole‐Trapping Promoters in LCDs/Bi‐MOF/ZIS With S‐Scheme Heterojunction for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Peroxide Production in Pure Water

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production from water and oxygen driven by solar energy represents a highly promising green and sustainable strategy. Herein, lignin‐derived carbon quantum dots (LCDs) were strategically introduced at the heterojunction between a Bi‐based metal organic framework (Bi‐MOF) and ZnIn2S4 (ZIS).

Chromate‐Conversion‐Induced Cr2O3‐Rich Interphase for Dendrite‐Free and Highly Reversible Zinc Metal Anodes

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc batteries hold great promise for large‐scale energy storage, yet their practical application is hindered by dendrite growth and interfacial side reactions on the zinc anode. Inspired by the industrially mature chromate passivation technology, this work reports an in situ construction of a chromium‐rich passivation layer (Zn@Cr) on

Thermite‐Synthesized Fe–Ti–Al–Mg High‐Entropy Intermetallic Compound for Efficient Azo Dye Degradation

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Most high‐entropy alloys (HEAs) tailored for contaminant degradation suffer from complex fabrication processes and high‐cost alloy design. Furthermore, low‐cost active elements such as Fe and Mg cannot be readily alloyed into HEAs via conventional routes.

Multi‐Site Chelation Enabled by 3D‐Printed TiO2 Hydrogel Monoliths for Dynamic Ge(IV) Recovery in Fixed Beds

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Germanium is a critical dispersed metal, yet sustainable recovery from dilute solutions is limited by sorbents that are difficult to regenerate and operate in continuous mode. Here, we fabricate a regenerable 3D‐printed hydrogel monolith (3D‐ATO‐GS) by integrating hydroxyl‐rich amorphous TiO2 nanoparticles into an alginate/gelatin scaffold ...

Synergistic Enhancement of Mechanical and Electrical Properties and Corrosion Resistance of Graphene‐Copper Composites by Accumulative Roll Bonding

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Graphene‐reinforced copper (Gr/Cu) composites have attracted considerable attention because of their potential to achieve a synergistic enhancement of strength, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance; however, the poor dispersion of graphene in the Cu matrix remains a key limitation for their further development.
