Next-Generation Nafion Membranes: Synergistic Enhancement of Electrochemical Performance and Thermomechanical Stability with Sulfonated Siliceous Layered Material (sSLM).
Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Nafion, while a benchmark proton exchange membrane (PEM) for fuel cells, suffers from significant performance degradation at elevated temperatures and low humidity due to dehydration and diminished mechanical stability. To address these limitations, this study investigated the development and characterization of Nafion nanocomposite membranes incorporating sulfonated silica layered materials (sSLMs). The inherent lamellar structure, high surface area, and abundant sulfonic acid functionalities of sSLMs were leveraged to synergistically enhance membrane properties. Our results demonstrate that sSLM incorporation significantly improved ion exchange capacity, water uptake, and dimensional stability, leading to superior water retention and self-diffusion at higher temperatures. Critically, the nanocomposite membranes exhibited remarkably enhanced proton conductivity, particularly under demanding conditions of 120 C and low relative humidity (i.e., 20% RH), where filler-free Nafion largely ceases to conduct.
