ToF-SIMS sputter depth profiling of interphases and coatings on lithium metal surfaces.
Article in Communications chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Lithium metal as a negative electrode material offers ten times the specific capacity of graphitic electrodes, but its rechargeable operation poses challenges like excessive and continuous interphase formation, high surface area lithium deposits and safety issues. Improving the lithium | electrolyte interface and interphase requires powerful surface analysis techniques, such as ToF-SIMS sputter depth profiling.This study investigates lithium metal sections with an SEI layer by ToF-SIMS using different sputter ions. An optimal sputter ion is chosen based on the measured ToF-SIMS sputter depth profiles and SEM analysis of the surface damage. Further, this method is adapted to lithium metal foil with an intermetallic coating. ToF-SIMS sputter depth profiles in both polarities provide comprehensive insights into the coating structure. Both investigations highlight the value of ToF-SIMS sputter depth profiling in lithium metal battery research and offer guidance for future studies.
