Phase Transition‐Induced Engineering of Fe‐N‐C Catalysts for Dual Optimization of Active Sites and Mass Transfer in Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Fe‐N‐C electrocatalysts are considered promising alternatives to platinum‐based catalysts for advancing the development of metal–air batteries. However, the simultaneous realization of scalable synthesis, hierarchical mass‐transfer pathways, and precise regulation of Fe‐N4 sites remains challenging. Different from conventional Fe‐N‐C synthesis,

Unlocking the Potential of Machine Learning for Advanced Single‐Atom Catalysts Design in Promoting Electrochemical CO2 Reduction

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) represents a pivotal pathway for the promotion of carbon neutrality and the preparation of highly valuable chemicals. To improve the product selectivity and catalytic efficiency of CO2RR, single‐atom catalysts (SACs) offering highly efficient atomic utilization rates and adjustable electronic ...

Progress and Future Prospect of Electrolyte Additives in Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Battery

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) have been regarded as a strong candidate for a new generation of electrochemical energy storage systems because of their high safety, environmental friendliness, low cost and relatively high energy density. However, there are still many challenges for practical application, especially the uncontrolled growth ...

Pore‐Defect Synergistic Decoupling of Electrical and Thermal Transport in Entropy‐Engineered Thermoelectric Ceramics

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Pore engineering reduces the thermal conductivity of thermoelectric materials, yet typically degrades electrical conductivity by enhancing carrier scattering—a long‐standing trade‐off. Here, we overcome this trade‐off in SrTiO3‐based entropy‐engineered ceramics via a one‐step synergistic strategy: using poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as a ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene/AuNPs‐Gated OECT Biosensor for Sensitive Detection of PD‐L1‐Positive Exosomes Associated With Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Lung cancer remains a major cause of cancer‐related mortality worldwide, and non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for the largest proportion of diagnosed lung cancer cases. Exosomal programmed death‐ligand 1 (PD‐L1) has attracted increasing attention as a potential liquid‐biopsy biomarker associated with tumor immune regulation; however,

Upcycling Spent Cu‐Containing Catalysts to CuO Humidity Sensors for Physiological Detection: Calcination Temperature Optimization

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT To achieve high‐value utilization of spent catalysts, we recovered copper (Cu) from Cu‐bearing spent catalysts via acid‐base leaching to fabricate CuO and systematically studied how calcination temperature affects their microstructure and humidity‐sensing performance. Characterizations show that CuO‐500 (calcined at 500°C) has a large specific
