Protected areas on international borders show uneven conservation outcomes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Border protected areas (BPAs) are national protected areas that are immediately adjacent to a country's border or span two or more countries; they are characterized by distinctive opportunities and pressures. They play a critical role in protecting carbon‐rich ecosystems, conserving endangered biodiversity, reducing cross‐border environmental ...

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).

Tuning Grain Boundary Carbides via Solute Rare‐Earth Elements to Prevent Intergranular Brittle Fracture

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Carbides strengthen the grain boundaries; nevertheless, excessive carbide precipitates embrittle the grain boundaries of high‐temperature alloys during prolonged service. Here, we provide direct evidence of solute rare‐earth atoms and demonstrate that they can trap vacancies and inhibit interstitial diffusion, restraining carbide precipitation

Biomass‐Derived Laser‐Induced Graphene: From Precursor Chemistry to Device Integration

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Laser direct writing provides a mask‐free route for converting suitable carbon‐containing precursors into patterned, porous, and conductive laser‐induced graphene (LIG) networks. Although LIG was initially demonstrated mainly using aromatic synthetic polymers, such as polyimide, biomass precursors introduce renewable feedstocks with highly ...

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 ...

Liquid/Solid EGaIn@Ag Heterostructure Catalyst Enabling CO2 Electroreduction to CO in a Three‐Membrane Electrolyzer With Co‐Production of K2CO3 and Cl2

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) powered by renewable electricity offers a sustainable route for producing value‐added carbonaceous chemicals. Herein, a three‐membrane electrolyzer was employed to directly co‐generate carbon monoxide (CO), chlorine (Cl2), and potassium carbonate (K2CO3) from the electrolysis of CO2 and

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.

Engineering Stress‐Decoupled SnP2O7@Carbon Core Shell via Spatial Confinement for Cycling‐Stable Sodium Storage

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Tin‐based composite oxides typically undergo severe volume variations and exhibit poor intrinsic conductivities despite their high theoretical capacity as promising anode candidates for sodium‐ion batteries. This results in rapid structural degradation and capacity fading upon cycling.
