Current status and advances in zinc anodes for rechargeable aqueous zinc-air batteries.
Review in Science and technology of advanced materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
To promote sustainable development and reduce fossil fuel consumption, there is a growing demand for high-performance, cost-effective, safe and environmentally friendly batteries for large-scale energy storage systems. Among the emerging technologies, zinc-air batteries (ZABs) have attracted significant interest. By integrating the principles of traditional zinc-ion batteries and fuel cells, ZABs offer remarkably high theoretical energy density at lower production cost compared to the current state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the critical challenge remains in developing high-performance zinc anode. Herein, this review provides a comprehensive analysis of the current status and advancements in zinc anodes for rechargeable aqueous ZABs. We begin by highlighting the major challenges and underlying mechanisms associated with zinc anodes including issues such as uneven zinc deposition, dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution reaction. Then, this review discusses the recent advancements in zinc anode modifications, focusing on strategies such as alloying, surface porosity and zincophilicity. By reviewing the latest research, we also identify existing gaps and pose critical questions that need further exploration to push the field forward. The goal of this review is to inspire new research directions and promote the development of more efficient zinc anodes.
