Carbon‐Insertion‐Engineered WS2 Hierarchical Heterostructure Enabling Superior Sodium‐Ion Storage

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tungsten disulfide (WS2) is considered a promising anode material for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). However, its practical application is hindered by poor electrical conductivity, large volume changes during cycling, and sluggish ion diffusion kinetics, which lead to unsatisfactory electrochemical performance.

Ru‐Ag Dual Atom Sites for Methane Detection Enabling Intelligent Thermal Runaway Warning in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early detection of thermal runaway (TR) is essential for lithium‐ion battery (LIB) safety, as unchecked TR risks catastrophic failures in energy storage systems. Gas‐based sensing offers a faster and more direct approach by detecting decomposition products at the molecular level.

Selective Lithium Deposition Through 3D Copper Collector With Lithiophilic Alloy “Skins” and Curvature Boundaries for Dendrite‐Free Lithium‐Metal Anodes

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although lithium metal has been regarded as an ideal anode material for high‐energy‐density batteries, its practical applications remain hindered by many serious challenges. Three‐dimensional (3D) porous Cu current collectors demonstrate potential in ensuring uniform Li deposition.

Bifunctional Competitive Structure of Biomass Carbon‐Derived Metacomposites for Tunable ε′‐Near‐Zero and ε′‐Negative Responses

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regulating negative parameters of metacomposites is mainly limited by their unclear mechanisms, which affects their practical applications in new sensing, communication, electromagnetic (EM) protection and other fields. This work proposes a dual‐functional competitive design strategy based on the waste corncob‐derived carbon/polyaniline ...

Surface‐Embedded Ag@Multilayer Graphene for Photothermal‐Enhanced Superhydrophobic Anti‐Icing Coatings

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Harnessing solar energy for self‐heating presents an effective strategy to suppress surface ice formation. In this paper, we fabricated nano‐silver‐modified multilayer graphene sheets (Ag@MGs) that integrate photothermal and superhydrophobic properties for anti‐icing applications.

Interface Issues of Inorganic Solid‐State Electrolytes in Secondary Magnesium Batteries

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid‐state magnesium batteries (SSMBs) have gained significant attention as promising candidates for next‐generation safe energy storage systems because of the abundance of magnesium (Mg) in the earth's crust, superior energy density, and inherent nonflammability.

Hierarchical Strengthening Design in AlCrCuFeNi2.5/CuCrZr Composites Enables Strength–Ductility–Conductivity Synergy

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Developing Cu‐based composites that simultaneously achieve ultra‐high strength, ductility, and electrical conductivity remains critical for advanced electrical contact applications. In this work, multiphase AlCrCuFeNi2.5 high‐entropy alloy (HEA) reinforcements are incorporated into CuCrZr matrix via spark plasma sintering (SPS) and annealing ...

Regulating TGO Nucleation and Growth of MCrAlX Coatings via Femtosecond Laser Remelting: The Role of Reactive Elements in the Oxidation Resistance

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MCrAlX coatings are widely used as bond coats in thermal barrier coating systems to protect turbine blades from high‐temperature oxidation. However, their oxidation resistance is often restricted by uncontrolled microstructures, surface roughness, and aggregation of reactive elements (REs). In this study, high‐repetition‐rate femtosecond laser

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

Genomic responses to increased temperature and pollinator selection in Brassica rapa L.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Rapid environmental change reshapes both abiotic stress and biotic interactions, yet it remains unclear how these combined forces structure plants' genomic adaptation. In particular, the joint influence of temperature and pollinator identity, two ecological axes undergoing simultaneous global shifts, has rarely been quantified at genomic ...
