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.

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.

Predictive M‐Site Design of MAX‐Derived CoNi Composites: Dual‐Scale TaC + L12 Strengthening Enabled by Rare Metal Ta

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In MAX‐phase‐derived metal–matrix composites, the M‐site element simultaneously governs carbide chemistry and matrix precipitate stability, yet it has traditionally been selected empirically rather than from a predictive criterion linking M‐site choice to carbide chemistry, matrix alloying, and L12 stability; moreover, the reaction pathway ...

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.

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.
