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).

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

Carbon Nanorods With Adhered Monodisperse Cobalt Nanoparticles Exhibiting Electromagnetic Wave Absorption and Antibacterial Potential

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Magnetic particles coated with carbon shells have been considered as promising electromagnetic wave absorption materials with antibacterial features. However, how to precisely control the monodispersed magnetic nanoparticles on a carbon matrix to manipulate impedance matching and antibacterial performances is still a key challenge.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Constructing Integrative Catalytic Pairs in Carbon Nanohorns for Enhanced Neutral H2O2 Electrosynthesis

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) via the two‐electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e−ORR) offers a sustainable and decentralized alternative to the anthraquinone process. However, conventional solo‐active‐site catalysts are intrinsically limited by scaling relationships, imposing a trade‐off between activity and selectivity.

Enhanced Oxygen Reduction Reaction Performance of Fe‐N4 Single‐Atom Catalysts Through Fe3C Coupling

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the electronic factors contributing to the high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of Fe‐N4 sites remains a significant challenge due to the localized Fe 3d orbitals and their sensitivity to the coordination environment.

Constructing Ultrafine Ru Nanoclusters via a Dual‐Confinement Strategy: Synergizing Hierarchical Pores and Electronic Modulation for Efficient Lignin Hydrogenolysis

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Lignin hydrogenolysis is a promising route to separable aromatic monomers, yet practical upgrading is still hindered by macromolecular mass‐transfer limitations and the aggregation/deactivation of metal sites. Herein, we propose a “dual‐confinement” strategy to construct ultrafine Ru nanoclusters supported on lignin‐based N‐doped hierarchical ...

Rational Design of Bimetallic MOF‐Derived Cu/Co@N‐C Nanocubes for Ultrasensitive Electrochemical Nitrite Detection

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A facile coprecipitation‐pyrolysis strategy was employed to fabricate Cu/Co nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in nitrogen‐doped carbon matrices (Cu/Co@N‐C) through the carbonization of CuCo‐MOF precursors. Moreover, monometallic counterparts of Cu@N‐C and Co@N‐C were also prepared via carbonization of bimetallic CuZn‐MOF and CoZn‐MOF, respectively.
