From Low- to High-Entropy PBAs and Their Derivatives for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.
Review in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The accelerating global demand for energy has catalyzed the pursuit of advanced, sustainable energy storage systems. Among them, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries stand out for their high theoretical energy density and the abundance and low cost of sulfur. However, their practical deployment remains restricted by issues such as polysulfide dissolution, sluggish redox kinetics, and the notorious shuttle effect. Recent efforts have focused on engineering sulfur host materials and electrocatalysts to overcome these limitations, particularly through the use of polar inorganic compounds that interact strongly with lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) to improve conversion efficiency and cycle stability. In this context, new materials with configurational entropy ranging from low to high entropy have emerged as a new class of functional materials, offering unprecedented structural and compositional tunability. Among them, Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have gained increasing attention due to their open frameworks, controllable composition, and redox-active sites. Moreover, PBAs represent highly versatile precursors for the rational design and synthesis of advanced catalytic materials, encompassing alloys, metal oxides, metal sulfides, and metal phosphides, among other functional compounds. This review provides a comprehensive and critical assessment of the progress in the application of low-, medium-, and high-entropy PBAs and their derivatives as solid catalysts in Li-S batteries. We clarify the definitions of configurational entropy in PBAs and highlight the current misuse of the term in the literature. The review also addresses synthetic strategies for multielement PBAs, evaluates their physicochemical and catalytic properties, and correlates these features with electrochemical performance. Finally, we identify emerging design trends, key challenges, and future perspectives for the rational development of entropy-tailored PBAs in next-generation Li-S batteries.
