Toward Green and Sustainable Zinc-Ion Batteries: The Potential of Natural Solvent-Based Electrolytes.
Article in Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are emerged as a promising alternative for sustainable energy storage, offering advantages such as safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, conventional aqueous electrolytes in ZIBs face significant challenges, including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and zinc dendrite formation, compromising their cycling stability and safety. These limitations necessitate innovative electrolyte solutions to enhance ZIB performance while maintaining sustainability. This review explores the potential of natural solvent-based electrolytes derived from renewable and biodegradable resources. Natural deep eutectic solvents (DES), bio-ionic liquids, and biomass-derived organic compounds present unique advantages, including a wider electrochemical stability window, reduced HER activity, and controlled zinc deposition. Examples include DESs based on choline chloride (ChCl), glycerol-based systems, and biomass-derived solvents such as γ-valerolactone (GVL) and aloe vera, demonstrating improved cycling stability and dendrite suppression. Despite their promise, challenges such as high viscosity, cost, and scalability remain critical barriers to commercialization. This review underscores the need for further research to optimize natural solvent formulations, enhance Zn anode compatibility, and integrate these systems into practical applications. By addressing these challenges, natural solvent-based electrolytes can pave the way for safer, high-performance, and environmentally sustainable ZIBs, particularly large-scale energy storage systems.
