MoS2‐Modified Bamboo‐Like Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Nanotubes Encapsulating Ni Nanoparticles Enabling Synergistic Adsorption–Catalysis for High‐Performance Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The commercialization of lithium–sulfur batteries (Li–S batteries) has been hindered by the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and sluggish redox kinetics. In this study, we constructed a three‐dimensional hollow conductive network host material for sulfur with synergistic enhancement effects.

Defect Engineering of Carbon Frameworks Driven All‐Slope Hard Carbon Anodes for Fast‐Charging Sodium‐Ion Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Fast‐charging capability is one of the crucial factors determining the application prospects of sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). Nevertheless, the mismatched sodium storage kinetics and Coulombic efficiency (CE) in hard carbon anodes are bottlenecks in the implementation of fast‐charging SIBs. Herein, we propose a facile pre‐carbonization strategy

Multifunctional Integration in a Monolithic Biomass Carbon: A Triple‐Synergistic Host for Advanced Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries are promising for next‐generation high‐energy‐storage systems but are hindered by polysulfide shuttle, sluggish kinetics, and volume expansion. Conventional carbon hosts struggle to simultaneously anchor and convert polysulfides efficiently.

Copper Slag‐Derived Cu3Fe17@C Alloy Enabling Efficient Peroxymonosulfate Activation for Levofloxacin Degradation via Cu‐Mediated Electron Transfer With Suppressed Metal Leaching

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Although alloy‐based materials present potential for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation, metal ion leaching remains severely restricted during the pollution degradation process. Herein, the porous carbon‐supported Fe–Cu alloy derived from industrial copper slag was prepared to remove the organic pollutants from wastewater while inhibiting the ...

Conservative roots confer a larger microbial carbon pump efficacy than acquisitive roots by regulating microbial life‐history strategy

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2617-2627, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root activity creates unique microbial hotspots in the rhizosphere by influencing the metabolic activities of surrounding soil microorganisms, profoundly regulating the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, how root economic strategies affect the formation and

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).
