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

Rechargeable static aqueous zinc-halogen batteries (AZHBs) thrive in energy-storage applications due to their suitable redox potential, abundant reserves and relatively high energy density. This non-flow battery relies on the collaboration of the reversible stripping/plating process of Zn metal and the halogen-participating zincation reactions. However, the corrosion of Zn metal and the shuttling of the halogen species result in serious capacity decay, posing challenges to their reversibility and lifespan. Moreover, the instability of high-valence halides hinders the implementation of multi-electron reactions in AZHBs. This review elaborates on the fundamentals, challenges and recent progress in AZHBs, highlighting the significance of the electrolyte design that is aimed at synchronous optimization for both the halogen cathode and the Zn anode in AZHBs. We discuss the design principles and protocols, along with concerns in the effective testing and evaluation of synchronous electrolytes. Possible approaches towards synchronous electrolytes are proposed-namely, biphasic electrolytes, gradient hydrogel electrolytes and ionic liquid electrolytes. This review may help to guide the research in achieving AZHBs with high energy density and longevity for practical applications.
