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

CP 1 has higher OER activity than CP 2, especially lower overpotential and better current retention.

Caveat: OER data are application measurements on Nafion/GCE catalyst films, not intrinsic bulk conductivity measurements.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

The prepared CPs were directly used in pristine form for OER electrocatalysis without pyrolysis or post-synthetic modification.

Caveat: Electrode testing still requires Nafion binder and GCE deposition.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The additional pi-conjugated mesaconate/carboxylate linker in CP 1 is proposed to enhance proton transfer, stabilise higher Ni oxidation states, and ease NiOOH formation.

Caveat: Mechanistic attribution is inferred from comparative electrochemistry and post-OER XPS/PXRD, not from direct in situ identification of all intermediates.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The authors infer higher electronic conductivity of CP 1 than CP 2 from the lower EIS charge-transfer resistance.

Caveat: No four-probe or direct bulk electrical conductivity value is reported; the conductivity statement is based on electrochemical impedance of catalyst electrodes.
