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

Single-crystal (SC) Ni-rich cathodes offer superior cycle stability compared to polycrystalline (PC) cathodes but face challenges with lower rate capability, particularly in high-energy-density commercial electrodes with limited conductive additives. It remains unclear whether this limitation stems primarily from insufficient interparticle connectivity or sluggish lithium diffusion within individual SC particles. Moreover, quantitatively visualizing the utilization of electrodes based on electrical connectivity or lithium diffusion remains challenging. In this study, we employed electrochemical analysis, 46-point probe resistance measurements, and synchrotron-based transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) to reveal that the poor rate capability of SC electrodes is primarily due to inferior interparticle connectivity. Incorporating PC particles significantly reduces electrical contact resistance, while larger particle sizes further enhance electrode connectivity. Based on these insights, blending a minor fraction of large PC particles effectively improves the rate capability of SC electrodes. TXM lithium imaging at high cycling rates reveals that improved electrical contact between SC and PC particles boosts electrical connectivity, ensuring effective particle utilization and enhanced performance across the electrode.
