Traditional activation strategies, such heteroatom doping or defect engineering, often compromise the superior mechanical integrity of materials. Herein we propose a nondestructive surface engineering strategy by demonstrating that mechanical buckling is not merely a physical deformation but also a potent chemical activator. Using first-principles calculations, we unravel the mechanism of curvature-induced rehybridization, where compressive strain disrupts the delocalized \u03c0-electron system, forcing a local transition from sp2 to partial sp3 character. We further identify three distinct activation mechanisms driven by the interplay between strain and metal adsorption. For weak compression, the graphene sheet remains planar until metal adsorption induces a reversible buckling, representing a dynamic active site mechanism where the structure recovers planarity upon desorption. For moderate compression (e.g., 5%), metal atom adsorption triggers a transition to a corrugated state that persists after desorption due to mechanical load, yet without \u03c0\u2013\u03c3 orbital mixing. In contrast, under higher compression (e.g., 10% or 15%), the system undergoes an irreversible transition to a stable corrugated state where curvature is locked by both compressive force and \u03c0\u2013\u03c3 coupling. This electronic modulation creates highly polarized active sites at the convex \u201cridges\u201d and concave \u201cvalleys\u201d, significantly enhancing the interfacial binding affinity for Li, Na, and K adatoms. Unlike planar graphene, the buckled architecture facilitates a multilayer adsorption mechanism, yielding exceptional theoretical specific capacities of \u223c1675.1 mA h g\u20131 for a Li-ion battery and \u223c744.5 mA h g\u20131 for a Na- and K-ion battery, far surpassing the commercial graphite anode. Furthermore, we identify anisotropic ion diffusion pathways, i.e., \u201cridge\u201d and \u201cvalley\u201d, where the valley channels exhibit ultralow energy barriers (&amp;lt;0.05 eV), acting as superionic highways for rapid kinetics. Our findings establish a robust structure\u2013property relationship between geometric curvature and surface reactivity, providing a theoretical blueprint for designing next-generation flexible anodes via straintronics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.jpclett.6c01393","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,23]],"date-time":"2026-09-23T21:02:00Z","timestamp":1790197320000},"page":"11443-11452","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Strain-Engineered\nInterfacial Chemistry: Curvature-Induced\nsp2\u2013sp3 Rehybridization of Graphene for\nUltrahigh Alkali Metal Storage"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9019-0685","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Donghai","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Huanghe Science and Technology College , , ,","place":["Zhengzhou, China, 450006"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peng","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Henan University , , ,","place":["Kaifeng, China, 475004"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2409-9888","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Shuaiwei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huanghe Science and Technology College , , ,","place":["Zhengzhou, China, 450006"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6172-9952","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Binbin","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huanghe Science and Technology College , , ,","place":["Zhengzhou, China, 450006"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5296-8430","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Leilei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huanghe Science and Technology College , , ,","place":["Zhengzhou, China, 450006"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tengfei","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huanghe Science and Technology College , , ,","place":["Zhengzhou, China, 450006"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6661-6324","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Shouren","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huanghe Science and Technology College , , ,","place":["Zhengzhou, China, 450006"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Baocheng","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huanghe Science and Technology College , , ,","place":["Zhengzhou, China, 450006"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3319-5743","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Houyang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chongqing Institute of Green and Intelligent Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences , ,","place":["Chongqing, People\u2019s Republic of China, 400714"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026100811162618000_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2001116","DOI":"10.1002\/advs.202001116","article-title":"The Evolution of Flexible Electronics:\nFrom Nature, Beyond Nature, and To Nature","volume":"7","author":"Wang","year":"2020","journal-title":"Adv.\nSci."},{"key":"2026100811162618000_cit2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2416717","DOI":"10.1002\/adma.202416717","article-title":"10 Years Development\nof Potassium-Ion\nBatteries","volume":"37","author":"Li","year":"2025","journal-title":"Adv.
