Bio‐Inspired Continuous Gradient Nanocomposites for Ultrahigh‐Temperature Dielectric Energy Storage at 150°C–200°C

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Dielectric polymers commonly suffer from severe performance degradation above 150°C, hindering advanced power systems. Herein, we demonstrate a polyetherimide (PEI) nanocomposite that overcomes this by mimicking the gradient architecture of nacre and bamboo, incorporating a continuous vertical gradient of fluorinated boron nitride nanosheets ...

Ultrathin MnO2‐PEG‐PD‐L1 Nanosheets Enable Tumor Microenvironment Modulation and NIR‐II Photothermal Immunotherapy for Durable Control of Lung Cancer and Postoperative Recurrence

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadly malignancies worldwide. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors, including PD‐1/PD‐L1 blockers, have benefited a subset of patients, response rates remain limited, and recurrence is frequent because of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), characterized by hypoxia and dysregulated ...

Enhancement of Corrosion and Wear Resistance in Polymeric Coatings via Ce(III)‐Functionalized Ternary ZnAlCe Layered Double Hydroxides Intercalated With EDTMP

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The intricate corrosion environment necessitates the polymeric coating's adaptability to the surroundings. In this work, the integration of rare‐earth Ce(III) ions and ethylene diamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid (EDTMP) in a layered double hydroxide (LDH) material is developed to enhance the corrosion protection and anti‐wear properties of

Superior Abrasibility of YSZ(ESP)/BN@ZrO2‐Polyester Composite Sealing Coating Reinforcing With Hybrid Micron/Nanometer Multiscaled Pore Structure

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 ...

In Situ Formation of the Li3Bi Alloy Phase Interface for Robust Garnet Solid‐State Lithium Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Garnet‐type electrolyte Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO) is a promising component for commercializing solid‐state batteries owing to its wide electrochemical window, good stability, and high shear modulus. However, poor interface wettability and lithium dendrite growth limit the practical application of the LLZTO electrolyte.

Elephant barrier behaviors in response to conflict mitigation fences

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Human–wildlife conflict is a major conservation issue, particularly in lower income countries, where it affects marginalized people and leads to the extirpation of threatened species. Managers increasingly use fences to reduce this conflict but lack evidence on the effectiveness of these barriers, especially on whether this reduces the number ...

Boosting Piezoelectric Voltage Constant in 3D‐Interconnected PZNNT Porous Piezoceramics via Pore Architecture Engineering

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In conventional piezoceramics, the coordinated change between the dielectric constant (εr) and the piezoelectric charge constant (d33) usually limits the piezoelectric voltage constant g33 (g33 = d33/εr), a critical figure of merit for piezoelectric sensors.

Surface Sulfate Modification Promoted Excitons Extraction of BiOBr Nanosheets for Efficient 1O2 Photosynthesis and Chlorophenols Dechlorination

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Photocatalytic molecular oxygen (O2) activation provides a sustainable approach to produce singlet oxygen (1O2) for organic contaminants detoxification. However, the charge carriers‐involved pathway usually suffers from unsatisfactory 1O2 production efficiency owing to energy loss caused by photogenerated hole‐mediated superoxide species (•O2−

N,W‐Cooperative Modulation of Ni3S2 for Efficient Electrocatalytic Oxidation of 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5‐Furandicarboxylic Acid

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Ni3S2 has emerged as a promising catalyst for the electrochemical oxidation of biomass‐derived 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), driven by its distinctive physicochemical properties. However, its practical catalytic efficiency is severely hindered by abundant electrochemically inactive surface sites and poor ...
