1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 Zn batteries (ZBs) are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage, considering their intrinsically safe features, competitive cost, and environmental friendliness. However, the fascinating metallic Zn anode is subjected to severe issues, such as dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution, and corrosion. Additionally, traditional aqueous electrolytes' narrow electrochemical windows and temperature ranges further hinder the practical application of ZBs. Solid-state electrolytes, including solid polymer electrolytes and hydrogel electrolytes, offer distinct paths to mitigate these issues and simultaneously endow the ZBs with customizable functions such as flexibility, self-healing, anti-freezing, and regulated Zn deposition, etc, due to their tuneable structures. This review summarizes the latest progress in developing polymer electrolytes for ZBs, focusing on modifying the ionic conductivity, interfacial compatibility, Zn anode stability, electrochemical stability windows, and improving the environmental adaptability under harsh conditions. Although some achievements are obtained, many critical challenges still exist, and it is hoped to offer guidance for future research, accelerating the development and application of polymer electrolytes.
