1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Prussian Blue analogues (PBAs) are promising materials for energy storage and conversion because their robust open-framework structures enable efficient ion intercalation. Among them, Turnbull's Blue analogues (TBAs), a subclass featuring ferrocyanide vacancies, exhibit exceptional rate capability in acidic electrolytes by facilitating rapid proton transport. To optimize TBA performance, understanding how the metal identity influences both proton mobility and structural stability is essential. Here, we combined density functional theory (DFT) calculations with electrochemical characterization experiments to investigate the proton transport activity and stability of TBAs incorporating six metals (Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) under acidic conditions. Our theoretical analysis revealed that the inclusion of Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni enhances proton transport via electron spin-flipping at low-spin Fe sites. Furthermore, the presence of ferromagnetic metals promotes the reduction of Fe ions located farther from dense ferrocyanide vacancy regions during proton intercalation, destabilizing the initial protonated configuration and lowering the reaction energy. Stability trends, assessed through Gibbs free energy changes for dissolution in acidic electrolytes, aligned with experimental capacity retention. Through this integrated study, Ni-TBA emerged as a promising candidate, combining high proton transport activity with superior stability, offering valuable guidance for the rational design of high-performance proton-ion battery materials for energy storage.
