Advanced materials for high-performance electrochemical water-splitting: a review of recent breakthroughs, and future prospects.
Review in Frontiers in chemistry, 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 sluggish HER/OER kinetics and the lack of dependable, highly efficient electrocatalysts limit the large-scale use of electrochemical water splitting, despite its potential as a sustainable hydrogen generating technique. This review presents comprehensive and mechanistically informed evaluation of the advanced electrocatalysts with particular emphasis on non-noble metal-based systems, including nanostructure surfaces, layer double hydroxides (LDH), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), high-entropy materials (HEMs), perovskites, graphene-based materials, and covalent-organic frameworks (COFs). This review provides a unified framework for structure, property, and performance by correlating the strategies for the catalysts design, such the heteroatom doping, defect engineering, and the hybrid interface construction, with that of the key performance metrics including the current density, stability, cell voltage, and overpotential. Additionally, the influence of the operating conditions is also considered to offer more realistic perspective on the performance of the catalysts across the different electrochemical environments. Through the critical evaluation of the recent advancements, this review identifies key trends governing the catalytic behavior including the role of the active site engineering, interfacial effects, and the modulation of the electronic structure. This review outlines the actionable strategies which are aimed at bridging the gap between the laboratory-scale studies and the industrial water splitting, thus offering a rational framework for the development of the next-generation electrocatalysts for sustainable hydrogen production.
