Cellulose-Based Ion Exchange Membranes for Electrochemical Energy Systems: A Review.
Review in Membranes, 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
Cellulose, the most abundant polysaccharide on earth, possesses desirable properties such as biodegradability, low cost, and low toxicity, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Being a non-conductive material, the structure of the nanocellulose can be modified or incorporated with conductive filler to facilitate charge transport between the polymer matrix and conductive components. Recently, cellulose-based ion exchange membranes (IEMs) have gained strong attention as alternatives to environmentally burdening synthetic polymers in electrochemical energy systems, owing to their renewable nature and versatile chemical structure. This article provides a comprehensive review of the structures, fabrication aspects and properties of various cellulose-based membranes for fuel cells and water electrolyzers, batteries, supercapacitors, and reverse electrodialysis (RED) applications. The scope includes an overview of various cellulose-based membrane fabrication methods, different forms of cellulose, and their applications in energy conversion and energy storage systems. The review also discusses the fundamentals of electrochemical energy systems, the role of IEMs, and recent advancements in the cellulose-based membranes' research and development. Finally, it highlights current challenges to their performance and sustainability, along with recommendations for future research directions.
