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

Co2-Ni-MOF is the best electrode among the studied MOFs, delivering 1300 F/g at 1 A/g, 1021 F/g at 10 A/g, and 71% retention after 3000 cycles.

Caveat: Performance is for composite working electrodes in a three-electrode aqueous KOH configuration.

1 · Abstract · Linked to 3 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

The Co2-Ni-MOF//AC hybrid supercapacitor reaches 25.92 Wh/kg at 375 W/kg and retains 78.1% capacitance after 6000 cycles.

Caveat: Device assembly details are incomplete in the text.

7 · 3.3 Electrochemical measurements of Co2-Ni-MOF//AC HSC device · Fig. 6c-d · Linked to 3 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Co was successfully doped into Ni-MOF, with smaller Co2+ partially substituting for Ni2+.

Caveat: Bulk composition is not quantified in the provided text; XPS is surface sensitive.

3 · 3.1 Structure and morphology characterization · Fig. 1, Fig. 3, Fig. S4 · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Increasing Co to 5% destroys the flower-like hierarchical microspheres and reduces surface area and electrochemical performance.

Caveat: The Co5 capacitance values are visual estimates from Fig. 4e; the morphology evidence comes from SI Fig. S2b, whose image body is not available in the provided SI text.

6 · 3.1 Structure and morphology characterization · Fig. S2b · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The open 3D flower-like Co2-Ni-MOF morphology gives the highest surface area and pore volume, improving electrolyte access and electrochemical performance.

Caveat: The causal link is argued from correlated morphology/porosity/electrochemical data rather than isolated mechanistic controls.

7 · 3.2 Electrochemical measurements of MOF materials · Fig. 4e · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Low Co doping reduces charge-transfer resistance and is interpreted as improved electrical conductivity through Ni2+/Co2+ synergy and increased free holes.

Caveat: EIS Rct is an electrode/electrolyte interfacial metric for composite electrodes, not a direct intrinsic electronic conductivity measurement of the MOF powder.
