Author interpretations and caveats

Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

Optimised NiFeZn MOF nanosheets show the best OER activity among the Fe, Ni, NiFe and NiFeZn MOFs, with 233 mV overpotential at 10 mA cm-2 and 37.8 mV dec-1 Tafel slope.

Caveat: Activity is electrochemical OER performance, not direct electronic conductivity.

4 · Results and discussion 3.2 · Fig. 4 · Linked to 5 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Electrochemical activation partially dissolves Zn, forming Zn defects and porous nanosheets that are proposed to increase active sites and improve electron/mass transport.

Caveat: Mechanistic link is inferred from post-activation microscopy/EDS and electrochemical performance; no direct conductivity value is reported.

5 · Results and discussion 3.3 · Fig. 6 · Linked to 3 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The solvothermal water/DMAC route is presented as universal for NiFeM (M = Zn, Mn, Cu, Pb, Cd) trimetallic MOF nanosheets.

Caveat: The experimental precursor list inconsistently includes Co but not Pb, while figures/results include Pb but not Co.

6 · Conclusions · Linked to 5 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

NiFeZn MOF is claimed to have lower charge-transfer resistance than Ni, Fe and NiFe MOFs based on smaller Nyquist semicircle diameter.

Caveat: Only qualitative Nyquist comparison is reported in text; no fitted Rct numeric value is provided.
