The utilization of ions in seawater for electrocatalysis.
Review in National science review, 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
Electrocatalysis in water offers a sustainable pathway for synthesizing hydrogen and hydrocarbons, leveraging water as a source of protons and hydroxides. However, the inherent presence of ions in water significantly influences the adsorption of active species, often disrupting electrocatalytic performance. While strategies have advanced to repel interfering ions and mitigate their adverse effects in seawater electrocatalysis, recent findings reveal that certain seawater ions can enhance electrocatalytic processes. This enhancement occurs either by promoting the adsorption of crucial reaction intermediates or by directly participating as reactants. Despite this potential, the underlying mechanisms and practical applications of these ion-involved reactions remain poorly understood and lack systematic evaluation. This review provides a timely appraisal of electrochemical reactions that strategically utilize seawater ions. It highlights recent advancements in methodologies and strategies within this emerging field. Firstly, we delve into the designs and mechanisms enabling chloride utilization in various electrocatalytic reactions. Next, we discuss intelligent protocols for sodium utilization, including asymmetric designs, aqueous alternating and cascade seawater electrocatalysis. Subsequently, we elucidate the critical role of local pH limitations and the impact of external forces on catalysts for direct seawater electrocatalysis. Finally, the electrochemical extraction of valuable resources such as uranium and lithium is summarized, with a focus on innovative electrode modifications and optimized cell configurations.
