Hydrogen spillover as an interfacial strategy for nitrate electroreduction to ammonia.
Review in Chemical science, 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
Nitrate electroreduction to ammonia (NRA) offers a route for ammonia recovery from nitrate-containing water streams while contributing to water remediation. However, its multi-step deoxygenation and hydrogenation pathway exhibits suboptimal efficiency. Rational electrocatalyst design is central to overcoming this bottleneck. Hydrogen spillover spatially decouples water-dissociation-driven H* supply from substrate hydrogenation, providing an interfacial strategy to balance activity and selectivity. This review methodically examines recent advancements in hydrogen-spillover-enhanced NRA. Catalyst design is discussed from five aspects: electronic structure engineering of Cu-based catalysts, donor and reduction phase coupling, H* migration direction control, migration pathway shortening, and interfacial microenvironment regulation. This comprehensive strategy is meticulously designed to enhance ammonia production rate and faradaic efficiency. Concurrently, we synthesize the principal characterization techniques currently deployed to probe hydrogen spillover and highlight their mechanistic diagnostic value. We conclude by identifying the outstanding challenges and future directions in this field.
