Atomically Dispersed Platinum Sites Immobilized on NiFe LDH by Controlling Localized Amorphization for Efficient Alkaline Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Platinum (Pt) single‐atom catalyst (SAC) shows great promise for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), but faces a huge challenge in activity enhancement due to the isolated single‐atom sites. Fabricating support with partially amorphous (pa) structures to realize the synergetic interaction in neighboring single atoms could facilitate H2O ...

Oxygen‐Vacancy‐Engineered Ni‐Fe Layered Double Hydroxides Enables Ultralow‐Overpotential Hydrogen Evolution Reaction and Durable Overall Water Splitting

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are attractive non‐noble catalysts for overall water splitting (OWS), yet their hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity is often limited by suboptimal *H adsorption and a paucity of accessible sites. Herein, we introduce an oxygen‐vacancy (Ov) engineering strategy to construct ultrathin Ni‐Fe LDH nanosheets ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus reshapes the rhizosphere microbiome of alfalfa in response to above‐ground attack by aphids and a fungal plant pathogen

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 2149-2169, August 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants assemble beneficial rhizosphere microbiomes through a ‘cry for help’ mechanism upon pathogen or insect herbivore attack. The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can influence the composition of microbial communities in the plant rhizosphere. However, their impacts
