Interfacial Water State Engineering for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution: From Immersed to Nonimmersed Systems.
Review in ChemSusChem, 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
Traditional immersed photocatalysis is constrained by the "water layer dilemma," where bulk water causes parasitic optical losses and impedes mass transfer. To overcome this, interfacial water state engineering via nonimmersed architectures offers a transformative paradigm shift by decoupling the reaction interface from the bulk liquid. Establishing a novel framework centered on water supply modalities and interfacial states, this review provides a fresh perspective on nonimmersed systems, tracing the transition from externally supplied to autonomous self-supplied architectures. We dissect how engineering the physical form and phase of water reconfigures the local microenvironment to maximize photon utilization and accelerate gas evolution kinetics. Nevertheless, scaling these systems for widespread application remains challenged by key hurdles in water-film thickness regulation and heat-mass coupling stability. Addressing these challenges through mechanistic understanding of interfacial water dynamics is essential to unlocking the full potential of nonimmersed architectures, which offer a transformative pathway for geographically versatile distributed hydrogen production and global carbon neutrality.
