Why Will Polymers Win the Race for Solid-State Batteries?
Review in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 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
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) promise to revolutionize energy storage by offering enhanced safety, higher energy density, and improved cycle lifespan over conventional lithium-ion batteries. Among the various solid electrolytes, polymers stand out for their unique combination of processability, mechanical compliance, and chemical versatility. This review explores why polymers are poised to lead the race toward commercial SSBs. Their intrinsic advantages-such as superior interfacial contact with electrodes, tunable ionic conductivity, and compatibility with scalable manufacturing methods-as well as the key technical challenges they face, including limited thermal stability, narrow electrochemical windows, and interfacial degradation, are examined. This study highlights emerging solutions from recent research, including polymer molecular design, polymer-ceramic composites, and in situ polymerization strategies. In contrast to oxide and sulfide systems, which face significant barriers in cost, manufacturability, and integration, polymer-based electrolytes offer a realistic and economically viable path to large-scale deployment. With continuing advances in materials design and industrial processing, polymers are not only competitive-they are leading the transition to next-generation solid-state batteries.
