International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract From desert ski resorts to subtropical Winter Games, there is a global proliferation of ‘mission‐impossible’ mega‐projects. The prevailing frameworks of city branding and urban entrepreneurism fail to explain the political logics behind these seemingly irrational projects.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.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 ...

Insights Into the Temperature‐Dependent Oxidation Mechanism of Metallic Cerium in H2O‐N2 Atmospheres
Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Metallic cerium (Ce), a widely used surrogate for actinide metals, enables mechanistic studies of reactions in complex gas environments under controlled and safer laboratory conditions. Here, the oxidation behavior of Ce in H2O‐N2 mixed atmospheres was investigated from 200°C to 350°C using in situ thermogravimetry–mass spectrometry, in situ X‐

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Because of superior transportability and high energy capacity, methanol is regarded as a potential hydrogen carrier. Photocatalytic methanol dehydrogenation offers a sustainable and cost‐effective method for releasing hydrogen. Conventional photocatalysts face challenging obstacles, including the low catalytic efficiency and rapid ...

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Nickel‐based materials are highly remarkable as promising transition metal catalysts for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline electrolytes. However, their electrochemical performance is limited by an unfavorable d‐band energy (Ed) level. Herein, we showcase an effective lattice‐strain strategy to modulate the Ed of

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Semiconductor photocatalysis represents a pivotal frontier in the quest for sustainable energy and environmental remediation. Among the diverse catalytic materials, Bismuth Oxychloride (BiOCl) has emerged as a particularly promising candidate due to its unique layered structure, featuring [Bi2O2]2+ layers intertwined with halogen ions, which ...

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Platinum (Pt) single‐atom catalyst (SAC) shows great promise for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), but faces a huge challenge in activity enhancement due to the isolated single‐atom sites. Fabricating support with partially amorphous (pa) structures to realize the synergetic interaction in neighboring single atoms could facilitate H2O ...

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Composite materials hold significant potential for abrasive sealing, yet composite materials used for abrasive sealing fall short in service durability under extreme environments. Here, a controllable strategy for adjusting pore structure is proposed, aiming to design a YSZ(ESP)/BN@ZrO2‐polyester coating with hybrid micron/nanometer ...

Gongye shui chuli, 2016 通过实验考察了聚丙烯疏水膜对低浓度氨氮废水的单级氨氮脱除率，研究了废水中的盐、钙离子和有机物等对疏水膜脱氨能力的影响。结果表明，聚丙烯疏水膜对低浓度氨氮废水的单级氨氮脱除率为50%～60%，废水中的盐分会对疏水膜的脱氨效率产生不利影响，钙离子和有机物短期内对疏水膜的脱氨效率影响不大。

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are attractive non‐noble catalysts for overall water splitting (OWS), yet their hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity is often limited by suboptimal *H adsorption and a paucity of accessible sites. Herein, we introduce an oxygen‐vacancy (Ov) engineering strategy to construct ultrathin Ni‐Fe LDH nanosheets ...
