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

MXenes, a versatile family of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and nitrides, have attracted significant attention for battery applications due to their exceptional properties, such as high electronic conductivity, tunable microstructure, robust mechanical and chemical stability, and compositional diversity. However, despite these advantages, conventional MXene synthesis methods-relying heavily on toxic acid etching-pose serious environmental hazards, undermining their suitability for sustainable energy applications. In this context, eco-friendly and non-toxic MXene synthesis routes have become increasingly critical for enabling the widespread adoption of MXene, driving extensive research into alternative, green synthetic approaches. These recent advances in environmentally benign synthesis are pivotal to unlocking the full potential of MXenes for diverse next-generation battery technologies. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of green and sustainable MXene synthesis strategies, highlighting the latest developments that go beyond traditional fluorine-based routes. Each synthetic process is comparatively analyzed with respect to its efficacy, limitations, and implications for practical application as key functional components in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and post-LIB systems. Finally, we offer a perspective on how the development of eco-friendly MXenes can contribute to overcoming the industrial challenges facing advanced battery technologies.
