Effect of Ni and Mg incorporation methods into Li₄SiO₄ derived from natural zeolite on CO₂ methanation performance.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
The present study investigates the effect of Ni and Mg oxide incorporation methods into Li₄SiO₄ synthesized from natural zeolite of the Taizhuzgen deposit on the structure and catalytic performance in CO₂ methanation. Ni/Li₄SiO₄, Ni-Mg/Li₄SiO₄ prepared by capillary impregnation (CI), and Ni-Mg/Li₄SiO₄ synthesized via solution combustion (SC) at a Li: Si ratio of 1.5:1 were evaluated in the CO₂ + 4 H₂ → CH₄ + 2 H₂O reaction at 250-550 °C. XRD, SEM-EDS, H₂-TPR, CO₂-TPD, XPS, TEM/HRTEM, and TGA analyses revealed correlations between phase composition, reducibility of Ni species, basicity, and catalytic behavior. Li₄SiO₄ formed predominantly as orthosilicate (~ 93 wt%) and acted as an effective support for Ni and Ni-Mg catalysts. The Ni-Mg/Li₄SiO₄ (CI) catalyst, characterized by uniformly dispersed Ni particles and balanced medium and strong basic sites, achieved 75-78% CO₂ conversion and 87-88% CH₄ selectivity at 450-500 °C. In contrast, the more porous Ni-Mg/Li₄SiO₄ (SC) catalyst with predominantly strong basic sites reached complete CO₂ conversion but showed lower CH₄ selectivity (20-50%) due to enhancement of the RWGS pathway. Stability tests showed higher coke formation for the Ni-Mg/Li₄SiO₄ (CI) catalyst, whereas the Ni-Mg/Li₄SiO₄ (SC) catalyst exhibited lower carbon deposition and greater stability.
