Morpho-electrochemical behavior of particulate Zn electrodes revealed by X-ray and neutron tomography.
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
Aqueous rechargeable Zn-based batteries are gaining attention for their sustainability, safety, and cost-effectiveness; however, no industrially viable solutions are yet available, due to the synergistic issues of passivation and shape change. In particular, flow batteries with particulate Zn anodes are attractive for long-term stationary storage, at the cost of additional morpho-chemical processes involving the Zn particle bed and the interparticle space (IPS). Thus, the understanding of this system requires space-dependent information about the arrangement, dimensions, and chemical states of Zn and its discharge products. To this aim, we employ dual-probe chemically sensitive X-ray and thermal neutron tomography and radiography. Specifically, we analyzed an in situ anode in both pristine and discharged states, and we followed its self-discharge process in operando. In situ X-ray tomography reveals the advancement of Zn particle consumption and IPS development. In situ neutron tomography shows the formation and distribution of hydroxides. In operando, neutron radiography gives access to hydrogen bubble formation and dynamics. This first-of-its-kind analysis provides crucial insights, directly informing anode design strategies. Our findings contribute to paving the way for next-generation Zn flow batteries with improved efficiency and longevity.
