Nitrogen–Doped Carbon Nanotube–Supported Ni3Se4–CeO2 Heterojunctions With Multi–Orbital Hybridization for Efficient Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Engineering of the catalyst interface and modulation of transition–metal d–band play critical roles in the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, a synthetic strategy is developed to fabricate nitrogen‐doped carbon nanotubes (N–CNTs)–supported Ni3Se4–CeO2 heterojunction catalysts through a facile chemical vapor deposition (

Interfacial Engineering of Sodiophilic Metal Layers on Liquid Alloys for Dendrite‐Free Sodium Metal Anodes

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Sodium metal batteries hold significant promise for large‐scale energy storage due to the high theoretical capacity and abundant sodium sources, yet sodium‐metal anodes are hindered by dendrite propagation, unstable solid electrolyte interphase, and poor cycling efficiency arising from uneven Na deposition and volume changes.

A Topology‐Guided Design Strategy for Polymerized Naphthoquinone Cathodes in Rechargeable Aluminium‐Ion Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Rechargeable aluminium‐ion batteries (RAIBs) are promising candidates for sustainable energy storage owing to their low cost, safety, and resource abundance. However, the lack of durable cathode materials restricts their development. Here, we propose a topology‐guided design strategy by synthesizing three thioether‐bridged naphthoquinone ...

Defect‐Regulated Electronic and Lattice Evolution in Na4VMn(PO4)3 Toward High‐Performance Sodium Storage

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT NASICON‐type Na4VMn(PO4)3 (NVMP) is a promising high‐capacity cathode for sodium‐ion batteries, yet its practical deployment is hindered by Mn3+‐driven lattice distortion, persistent oxygen vacancy defects, and sluggish Na+ transport, collectively resulting in accelerated performance degradation.

The Structural Origin of the Amorphous‐to‐Crystalline Transformation in Cu‐Zr Based Amorphous Alloy

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Amorphous alloys (AAs) possess a metastable structure from a thermodynamic perspective and tend to crystallize under external conditions, which in turn alters their material properties. To gain an in‐depth understanding of their crystallization mechanism, this study employed in situ spherical aberration‐corrected transmission electron ...

From Dendrite Accelerator to Suppressor: Engineering a Self‐Assembled Monolayer for Ultrafast and Dendrite‐Free Zinc Deposition

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries are plagued by anode challenges such as dendrite growth and corrosion, which stem from intrinsic surface heterogeneity. Although constructing a homogeneous interfacial layer is a promising strategy, conventional electrolyte additives often suffer from incomplete or unstable coverage.

Elastic Framework Driven Mg2+ Autocapture and Autocatalysis: Mechanistic Origin of Fast Hydrogen Release in 2LiBH4–MgH2

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The protracted incubation time has long been the Achilles' heel of the promising 2LiBH4–MgH2 hydrogen storage system. Instead of the usual route‐creating heterogeneous nucleation sites to hasten MgB2 formation, we shortened both de‐ and re‐hydrogenation incubation periods by steering the Mg transformation itself.
