Anode-free solid-state sodium batteries: navigating the challenges toward high energy density.
Review in Chemical science, 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
Anode-free solid-state sodium batteries (AFSSBs) represent a transformative paradigm, positioning themselves as the ultimate avenue to unlock the high-energy-density potential of sodium-based electrochemistry. However, their practical implementation is hindered by fundamental challenges, including inadequate solid electrolyte properties, unstable interfacial contacts, and uncontrolled sodium deposition morphology. This review provides a timely and systematic analysis of this evolving frontier. Following a clear presentation of the existing challenges, we organize and discuss emerging strategies spanning three key areas: the development of novel electrolytes, the construction of stable interfaces, and the optimization of current collector substrates. The pivotal role of advanced characterization in elucidating underlying mechanisms is also underscored. In the final section, we outline a forward-looking roadmap, identifying critical research pathways to accelerate the translation of AFSSB technology from promising prototypes toward practical, next-generation energy storage solutions.
