Polar-Nonpolar Synergy Toward High-Performance Aqueous Zinc-Iodine Batteries.
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 3 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-iodine batteries (AZIBs) hold great promise for large-scale energy storage due to their inherent safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability. However, their practical application is hindered by the sluggish redox kinetics of iodine species and the "shuttle effect" of polyiodides, both of which degrade cycling stability and capacity retention. Herein, a "polar-nonpolar strategy" is proposed for the first time, which couples nonpolar porous carbon (PC) as the iodine host with highly polar zinc oxide (ZnO) as separator modification materials. Specifically, the PC host leverages its porous structure and nonpolar properties to accommodate and immobilize iodine, simultaneously enhancing the conductivity of the cathode. Meanwhile, the polar ZnO on the separator accelerates electron transfer with polyiodides through strong adsorption and catalytic effects, improving the reversible transformation of iodine species. UV-visible spectroscopy and electrochemical kinetic analyses confirm the rapid transformation and effective polyiodide inhibition in this system. As a result, the prepared PC-I
