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

The 60 min Ni-MOF-FET operated as a liquid-gated device in PBS and responded to gluconic acid from 10^-6 to 10^-3 g/mL.

Caveat: The paper reports response over a concentration range but does not provide a calibrated detection limit, selectivity panel, or error bars in the extracted text.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Increasing reaction time improved Ni-MOF film tightness and FET metrics up to 60 min, while 120 min lowered performance because of Au electrode damage.

Caveat: Thickness did not scale linearly with reaction time; one 120 min threshold differs between Table 1 and SI Figure S8 caption.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Au electrodes promoted assembly/densification of the Ni-MOF film on the substrate.

Caveat: The morphology was said not to differ much, but density/thickness was lower without Au.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

The solid-liquid interface in situ growth method produced large-area, dense, uniform Ni3(HITP)2 films directly on FET substrates, avoiding damaging film transfer.

Caveat: Film size beyond the reported 2.5 x 2 cm wafer was not demonstrated.

p001-p002 / article pp.35935-35936 · Abstract and Introduction · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Under negative gate voltage, positive gluconic-acid species reduce hole accumulation in the Ni-MOF channel, causing a negative shift in Ids-Vgs.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation is proposed from device behaviour and schematic illustration rather than direct molecular binding quantification.
