Author interpretations and caveats

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

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The paper does not report intrinsic electrical transport for pristine MIL-88; conductive behaviour is discussed for MOF-derived graphitic-carbon composites and electrodes.

Caveat: Extraction therefore treats MIL-88 as a pristine MOF precursor/control rather than as a conductive MOF material.

p001-p002 / journal p2440-p2441 · Abstract; Introduction · Linked to 2 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The SI comparison table gives 978 mA h g-1 for the this-work H-Fe2O3-NSA 400th-cycle LIB capacity, while the main text and abstract give 973 mA h g-1.

Caveat: Both values are reported by the paper; no attempt was made to reconcile the 5 mA h g-1 discrepancy.

Composite RoleSupport assessment: High

Graphitic carbon in H-FeSe2/GC prevents structural collapse and improves electron transport during cycling.

Caveat: The paper reports EIS-derived Rct and electrochemical performance, not direct intrinsic electrical conductivity.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The hollow nanosphere aggregate structure in H-Fe2O3-NSA improves LIB cycling stability and Li-ion diffusion relative to dense D-Fe2O3-NSA.

Caveat: Comparative evidence is from electrochemical tests; no direct diffusion coefficient is reported.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Hollow FeSe2 nanospheres plus graphitic carbon improve Na-ion diffusion/electrical conductivity and high-rate SIB performance relative to dense D-FeSe2/C.

Caveat: Electrical conductivity is inferred from EIS/rate performance; no four-probe conductivity measurement is reported.

p008 / journal p2447 · Results & discussion · Figs. 6 and 7 · Linked to 6 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Oxidising at 350 deg C causes heat-evolution-driven sintering that destroys hollow Fe2O3 shells and produces dense Fe2O3 nanocrystal aggregates.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation is author-assigned from morphology/XRD/TEM evidence; SI figures supporting the dense morphology are available and read.

p005 / journal p2444 · Results & discussion · Figs. S4 and S2b referenced · Linked to 1 structured result

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Metallic Fe nanocrystals embedded in graphitic carbon convert into hollow Fe2O3 or FeSe2 nanospheres through nanoscale Kirkendall diffusion during oxidation or selenization.

Caveat: Mechanistic support is inferred from morphology, phase assignment, and literature; no in situ diffusion measurement is reported.

p003 / journal p2442 · Results & discussion · Scheme 1 · Linked to 2 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

MIL-88 microrods act as both precursor and template for Fe@GC, H-Fe2O3-NSA, and H-FeSe2/GC microrods.

Caveat: This is an experimental synthesis claim; MIL-88 crystallographic details rely on SI/literature comparison not locally available.
