Electrolyte diluent with large electrostatic potential difference for fast charging and slow discharging lithium metal batteries.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. 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
Progress in extending the cycle life of lithium metal batteries has primarily been achieved through strategies focused on slow charging and fast discharging conditions, with limited practical impact. However, accelerated performance degradation under the opposite operation protocols-fast charging and slow discharging-remains a challenge. Here, we introduce (difluoromethyl)trimethylsilane with a large electrostatic potential difference as a diluent for localized high-concentration electrolytes. The presence of this diluent limits the size of ion clusters and promotes the transfer of Li ions through the swollen solid-electrolyte-interphase layer for robust fast charging. The diluent also increases electrode polarization, which leads to spatially uniform Li stripping sites and allows reliable discharging even at low current densities. As a result, the electrolyte achieves an average Coulombic efficiency of 98.12% even at 12 mA cm
