Maximized atom utilization in a high-entropy metallene via single atom alloying for boosted nitrate electroreduction to ammonia.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
High-entropy alloys, with their unique structural characteristics and intrinsic properties, have evolved to be one of the most popular catalysts for energy-related applications. However, the geometry of the traditional nanoparticle morphology confines the majority of active atoms to the particle core, deeming them ineffective. In this study, we present a class of two-dimensional high-entropy alloys, namely, high-entropy metallenes, constructed by alloying various single-atom metals in atomically thin layers and reveal their great feasibility for electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia. Through multimetal interactions, various active centres are formed and sufficiently exposed over the metallene. Each element performs its own duties and jointly lowers the energy barrier of the rate-determining step. As expected, the proof-of-concept PdCuNiCoZn high-entropy metallene delivers satisfactory catalytic performance across wide pH ranges. In particular, in a strongly alkaline electrolyte, a maximum ammonia yield rate of 447 mg h
