Multifunctional Carbon Dots for Electrochemical Capacitors Reviewed: Their Opportunities and Challenges.
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 2 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
Electrochemical capacitors (ECs) are promising energy storage devices due to their rapid charge/discharge capability. However, they face limitations in energy density, and certain capacitor materials may exhibit poor conductivity and structural instability. Carbon dots (CDs), characterized by their small size, abundant surface functional groups, and controllable properties, show great potential in enhancing the performance of ECs. This review presents the challenges and opportunities associated with multifunctional CDs in ECs. It begins by summarizing the classification and basic working principles of ECs. Next, it discusses in detail the synthesis methods, fundamental physical and chemical properties, and the electrochemical and photoelectrochemical properties of CDs. Subsequently, it explores the application of CDs as electrode additives and electrolyte additives in ECs, highlighting their unique benefits in improving capacitor performance. Additionally, it examines the innovative use of CDs in photo-assisted capacitors, revealing insights into capacitor technology derived from the synergistic effects of light and electrochemical energy storage processes. Finally, the current challenges facing the applications for CD-based ECs are discussed, followed by proposing future research opportunities. This review emphasizes the significant role of multifunctional CDs and their promising potential in advancing EC technology.
