1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Alloying has proven power to upgrade metallic electrocatalysts, while the traditional alloys encounter limitation for optimizing electronic structures of surface metallic sites in a continuous manner. High-entropy alloys (HEAs) overcome this limitation by manageably tuning the adsorption/desorption energies of reaction intermediates. Recently, the marriage of nanotechnology and HEAs has made considerable progresses for renewable energy technologies, showing two important trends of size diminishment and multidimensionality. This review is dedicated to summarizing recent advances of HEAs that are rationally designed for energy electrocatalysis. We first explain the advantages of HEAs as electrocatalysts from three aspects: high entropy, nanometer, and multidimension. Then, several structural regulation methods are proposed to promote the electrocatalysis of HEAs, involving the thermodynamically nonequilibrium synthesis, regulating the (sub-)nanosize and anisotropic morphologies, as well as engineering the atomic ordering. The general relationship between the electronic structures and electrocatalytic properties of HEAs is further discussed. Finally, we outline remaining challenges of this field, aiming to inspire more sophisticated HEA-based nanocatalysts.
