Mechanoluminescent Mixed‐Anion Borate Sr2B5O9Cl:Eu for Dynamic Anticounterfeiting

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Mechanoluminescence (ML)—the emission of light in response to mechanical stimuli—offers a direct and visually intuitive route for transducing mechanical information into optical signals. Herein, we report a mixed‐anion strategy to prepare mixed‐anion borate Sr2B5O9Cl:Eu phosphors through a facile, low‐temperature, and ambient‐atmosphere solid ...

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.

Titanium Implant Abutments With Polydopamine‐Mesoporous Cerium Dioxide Coatings for Enhanced Antibacterial, Anti‐Inflammatory, and Soft Tissue Integration Properties

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The poor soft tissue integration around titanium implants creates a microgap that serves as a pathway for pathogen invasion, resulting in infection, inflammation, and the progression of peri‐implantitis. As the implant’s transmucosal component, the abutment determines the degree of peri‐implant soft tissue attachment.

Temperature‐Induced Transformation of Oxidation Mechanism in HfZrTiTa0.5Al0.5 Refractory High‐Entropy Alloy: The Role of Elemental Segregation and Lattice Defects

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Refractory high‐entropy alloys (RHEAs) face severe oxidation challenges at elevated temperatures, despite their outstanding mechanical properties. Consequently, understanding the oxidation mechanisms of RHEAs is crucial for their high‐temperature applications.

High‐Value Targeted Conversion of Copper Slag as LiFePO4 Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The massive stockpiling of copper slag (CS) presents severe environmental and resource‐waste challenges. Existing strategies for CS valorization typically yield low‐value‐added products. Herein, we propose an innovative hierarchical regulation approach to transform CS into high‐performance LiFePO4 (LFP) cathode materials.

Designing 3d Transition‐Metal Doped g‐C3N4 Monolayer for Enhanced Bifunctional Oxygen Evolution/Reduction Reactions Activity: Defect Physics and Constant‐Potential Study

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) doped with 3d transition metals (3d‐TM@g‐C3N4) has gained attention as a noble metal‐free alternative for oxygen evolution and reduction reactions (OER/ORR). Yet the key mechanisms driving its performance remain debated, especially across different charge states.

A Multifunctional Reducing Molecular Dopant for 16% Efficient Tin Perovskite Solar Cells

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Although lead‐based photovoltaics have seen remarkable progress, tin‐based perovskite solar cells (Sn‐PSCs) continue to face challenges due to their limited power conversion efficiency and insufficient operational stability. The primary cause of this performance gap is the susceptibility of Sn2+ to oxidation, which promotes rapid defect ...

Lipid Nanoparticles Delivering ClpP‐mRNA Suppress Pyroptosis and Senescence in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via mTOR/BNIP3‐Activated Mitophagy

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a predominant cause of low back pain, significantly impacting quality of life. Mitochondrial fitness is essential in the progression of IDD, as it regulates cellular senescence and pyroptosis. This study investigates the role of mitochondrial caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) in alleviating senescence and
