Cellulose-Derived Battery Separators: A Minireview on Advances Towards Environmental Sustainability.
Review in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Cellulose-derived battery separators have emerged as a viable sustainable alternative to conventional synthetic materials like polypropylene and polyethylene. Sourced from renewable and biodegradable materials, cellulose derivatives-such as nanofibers, nanocrystals, cellulose acetate, bacterial cellulose, and regenerated cellulose-exhibit a reduced environmental footprint while enhancing battery safety and performance. One of the key advantages of cellulose is its ability to act as a hybrid separator, using its unique properties to improve the performance and durability of battery systems. These separators can consist of cellulose particles combined with supporting polymers, or even a pure cellulose membrane enhanced by the incorporation of additives. Nevertheless, the manufacturing of cellulose separators encounters obstacles due to the constraints of existing production techniques, including electrospinning, vacuum filtration, and phase inversion. Although these methods are effective, they pose challenges for large-scale industrial application. This review examines the characteristics of cellulose and its derivatives, alongside various processing techniques for fabricating separators and assessing their efficacy in battery applications. Additionally, it will consider the environmental implications and the primary challenges and opportunities associated with the use of cellulose separators in energy storage systems. Ultimately, the review underscores the significance of cellulose-based battery separators as a promising approach that aligns with the increasing demand for sustainable technologies in the energy storage domain.
