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

ZIF-67-C acts as a nanozyme with intrinsic peroxidase-mimicking activity, promoting H2O2-mediated TMB oxidation and colorimetric ACM detection.

Caveat: Kinetic fit constants in SI Fig. S4 were only readable as visual estimates from inset tables; no tabulated Michaelis-Menten constants were found.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

ZIF-67-C/GCE gives the highest CV anodic response and the best reported electrochemical ACM detection performance among the prepared ZIF-67 variants.

Caveat: Detailed repeatability histograms are SI figure-only visual estimates; real-sample numerical recoveries were extracted from rendered SI Table S1.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The paper claims high conductivity/high electron affinity for ZIF-67-C, but the supplied evidence is electrode EIS and sensor response rather than intrinsic electrical-transport measurements such as pressed-pellet conductivity, four-probe film transport, Hall, or thermoelectric data.

Caveat: The supplied SI and rendered SI were checked; no intrinsic conductivity, Hall, thermoelectric, BET surface-area, pore-volume, or pore-size numerical data were found.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: Medium

EDAX confirms the expected C, Co, N, and O elements in ZIF-67-C, consistent with cobalt-imidazolate framework composition.

Caveat: Values are visually read from the SI figure inset and oxygen may include surface/measurement contributions.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The room-temperature co-precipitated ZIF-67-C has a better-defined rhombic dodecahedral morphology than aged or hydrothermal variants, providing more active sites for ACM detection.

Caveat: Particle-size statistics and surface-area values are not available in the supplied main text or text-only SI.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Lower EIS resistance for ZIF-67-C/GCE indicates improved electron transfer/electronic conductivity relative to ZIF-67-A/GCE, ZIF-67-H/GCE, and bare GCE.

Caveat: This is electrochemical impedance of modified electrodes, not a direct four-probe intrinsic solid-state conductivity measurement of the powder.
