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 optimised Co/Ni-MOF-2:1 electrode and Co/Ni-MOF-2:1//AC ASC device show improved capacitance, rate capability and cycling stability for supercapacitors.

Caveat: Application results are from composite electrodes with acetylene black/PTFE and nickel foam, not neat MOF pellets.

p006 / article p.394 · 3. Conclusions · Linked to 5 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

After cycling, Co/Ni-MOF-2:1 partly retains morphology but coexists with Ni(OH)2 and Co(OH)2, indicating electrode reconstruction during operation.

Caveat: Post-cycling products are identified qualitatively from SI PXRD/XPS descriptions; detailed phase fractions are not reported.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Partial Co2+ substitution in Ni-MOF improves intrinsic reactivity and electrical conductivity, contributing to higher supercapacitor performance.

Caveat: No direct electronic conductivity measurement or fitted resistance value is reported in the accessible text; support is indirect from EIS/rate behaviour and author interpretation.

p001-p002 / article pp.389-390 · Abstract and Introduction · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Co/Ni-MOF-2:1 stores charge through mixed capacitive and diffusion-controlled processes, with capacitive contribution increasing at higher scan rates.

Caveat: Kinetic decomposition is based on standard CV power-law analysis of electrode composites containing conductive carbon and binder. SI Figure S24 capacitive-contribution panels were visually checked but not assigned to sample-specific rows because panel labels are absent and the caption conflicts with the labelled main Fig. 5d target values.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Low

The authors propose that smaller Co2+ partially replacing Ni2+ creates Ni2+ vacancies/free holes, enhancing electrical conductivity.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation is cited to prior literature and not directly quantified by carrier-density or conductivity measurements in this paper.

p004 / article p.392 · 2.2 Supercapacitor · Linked to 2 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Changing morphology from Ni-MOF microrods to Co/Ni-MOF-2:1 nanowires is proposed to facilitate electron/electrolyte transport and redox kinetics.

Caveat: Morphology and EIS support the claim qualitatively; no isolated morphology-controlled transport experiment is reported.
