Synergetic Ruthenium Clusters and Ligand Motifs in Insoluble Polyoxometalates for Efficient Urea Electrosynthesis

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The electrocatalytic co‐reduction of CO2 and nitrate (NO3− ${\text{NO}}_{3}^{-}$) to synthesize urea presents a sustainable alternative to traditional industrial processes, yet its efficiency is fundamentally limited by the kinetically mismatched activation and coupling of CO2 and NO3− ${\text{NO}}_{3}^{-}$.

Dual‐Bioactive Lignin‐Based Microcarrier Hydrogel Platform via Metal Salt Crosslinking for Synchronized Infection Eradication and Bone Regeneration

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Infected bone defects represent a dual therapeutic challenge demanding concurrent infection inhibition and osteogenesis promotion. Systemic antibiotic administration is taken as a classical treatment protocol but often yields inadequate local antibiotic concentrations and delayed bone repair.

Organ‐specific ozone and nitrogen legacies strengthen substrate control over litter decomposition

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2548-2559, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Elevated tropospheric ozone (O3) and nitrogen (N) deposition are concurrent atmospheric changes that strongly influence terrestrial carbon cycling, yet their combined effects on below‐ground decomposition remain poorly understood.

Alleviation of phosphorus rather than nitrogen limitation driven by permafrost and landscape effects on Dahurian larch forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2590-2601, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Permafrost thaw is reshaping nutrient dynamics in boreal forests, but its impacts on tree nutrient limitation and functional strategies remain poorly understood. Clarifying these responses is crucial for predicting the response of boreal forests to climate change.

Pinus armandii ectomycorrhizas mobilize aluminium‐bound phosphorus via carboxylates along a subtropical altitudinal gradient

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Ectomycorrhizal roots of Pinus armandii release more carboxylates than non‐mycorrhizal root segments, mobilizing Al‐bound inorganic P. Under the lowest available P conditions, they also secrete more phosphatase, promoting the mineralization of Al‐bound organic P.

Recovering Critical Elements From Wastewater for Battery Materials: A Review

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Driven by global carbon neutrality goals, the transition toward a circular economy and sustainable resource management has become increasingly imperative. Given the indispensable role of battery technologies in modern energy storage systems, strategic elements such as lithium (Li), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni)—identified by the European ...

Directed Construction of a Synergistic Li3P‐LiF Inorganic Solid Electrolyte Interphase Toward Stable Silicon Anodes

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Silicon–carbon composite anodes offer exceptionally high energy density, but their practical application is severely constrained by the structural instability and continuous evolution of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). In this work, moving beyond conventional LiF‐enrichment strategies, we propose a directional regulation approach based

Leaf C:P ratio as a universal indicator of photosynthesis in subtropical woody species: Stoichiometric thresholds and metabolic trade‐offs

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2332-2344, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The stoichiometric ratios of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) serve as important indicators for assessing nutrient balance in forest ecosystems, but their relationships with photosynthetic dynamics require deeper characterization.

Land use overrides climatic controls on soil organic nitrogen transformations: Contrasting responsiveness between forest and cropland ecosystems

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2128-2142, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil organic nitrogen (SON) transformation is critical for global nutrient cycling and ecosystem productivity, yet how its responsiveness to climate change differs across diverse land use types remains poorly resolved.
