Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium
The Cu-TCPP thin-film H+-FET shows proton mobility of about 9.5 x 10^-3 cm2 V^-1 s^-1 and on/off ratio of about 4.1, reported by the authors as the highest among reported H+-FETs at the time.
Caveat: Leaderboard claim depends on the authors' literature comparison and the 2021 state of the field; not independently updated here.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High
Reassembling ultrathin Cu-TCPP nanosheets produces two-dimensional interstitial hydrophobic nanochannels with hydrophilic Cu sites that mimic biological proton channels.
Caveat: The nanoscale channel assignment is inferred from oriented film structure and sorption/contact-angle behaviour rather than direct pore imaging.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High
Hydrophobic nanochannels help the Cu-TCPP film retain stability in water while still adsorbing water through hydrophilic sites.
Caveat: Longer-term or cycling stability beyond 40 days is not reported.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium
DFT suggests water molecules in interstitial channels form a hydrogen-bond network that enables a low-barrier Grotthuss-type proton-transfer pathway.
Caveat: The calculation uses a simplified 8H2O@CuTCPP fragment model rather than the full dynamic hydrated device.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High
Gate bias physically and reversibly modulates proton concentration in the MOF active layer by electric-field effect, with negative gate voltage increasing proton injection from PdHx contacts.
Caveat: Mechanistic explanation is based on device behaviour and schematic interpretation rather than direct in situ proton concentration imaging.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High
The modulated current in the Cu-TCPP H+-FET is attributed to protonic current, supported by humidity/H2 dependence, sweep-rate dependence, low vacuum electronic conductivity, and no gate response without H2.
Caveat: The device current is externally read as electronic current coupled to proton transfer at contacts; direct isotope or species-resolved transport is not reported in the supplied text.
