Dissolution, solvation and diffusion in low-temperature zinc electrolyte design.
Review in Nature reviews. Chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
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.
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
Aqueous zinc-based batteries have garnered the attention of the electrochemical energy storage community, but they suffer from electrolytes freezing and sluggish kinetics in cold environments. In this Review, we discuss the key parameters necessary for designing anti-freezing aqueous zinc electrolytes. We start with the fundamentals related to different zinc salts and their dissolution and solvation behaviours, by highlighting the effects of anions and additives on salt solubility, ion diffusion and freezing points. We then focus on the complex structures and energetics of cation-anion-solvent interaction. We also evaluate the prevailing strategies to improve the performance of electrolytes at low temperatures, with a discussion on the kinetics of plating and stripping of zinc anodes and charge storage in various cathode materials. Furthermore, we consider the current challenges and envisage future research directions in cold-resistant aqueous electrolyte formulations for zinc batteries.
