Co-solvent strategy for rechargeable post-lithium metal batteries.
Review in Nature reviews. Chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
The potential increase in cost of lithium-ion batteries owing to the limited supply of lithium has prompted investigations into alternative and complementary rechargeable batteries that use post-lithium charge carriers with higher elemental abundance. However, achieving highly reversible post-lithium metal anodes with sufficient kinetics remains challenging. The addition of co-solvents to conventional electrolytes is emerging as an important strategy to resolve these issues. In this Perspective, we discuss the progress of the co-solvent strategy for sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc and aluminium post-lithium metal batteries. The coordination ability of co-solvents with post-lithium charge carriers is presented as a useful guide for selecting co-solvents for the respective battery electrolytes, owing to its correlation with several influential factors that affect the electrochemical performance of the metal anodes, such as solvation structure, de-solvation process and solid electrolyte interphase formation. Additionally, a discussion is provided on the importance of unravelling the effects beyond the solvation sheath of cationic charge carriers and for the development of sustainable electrolytes.
