Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.
The Cu-BHT pH 2 screen-printed sensor shows practical H2O2 detection with high sensitivity, low detection limit, wide linear range, stability, anti-interference, and real-sample recovery.
Caveat: Application performance is for an engineered sensor device rather than a standalone film; long-term stability reported over one month only.
20827 · Practical Applications · Figure 5; Tables S5-S6 · Linked to 7 structured results
The enhanced electrocatalytic properties of defective Cu-BHT are attributed mainly to intrinsic activity and active-site accessibility rather than increased BET surface area.
Caveat: Surface areas are similar but not identical; authors normalise by ECSA to support intrinsic activity.
20825 · Electrochemical Sensing Performance · Figure S20 · Linked to 5 structured results
Cu vacancies provide additional active sites and tune electronic structure, improving H2O2 adsorption, lowering charge-transfer resistance, and boosting H2O2 sensing performance.
Caveat: Mechanistic adsorption/free-energy evidence is computational; sensor performance is measured on a screen-printed device containing Cu-BHT film and electrode substrate.

Higher metal-vacancy concentration decreases electrical conductivity in the Cu-BHT, Ni-BHT, and Ag-BHT pH series, although Cu-BHT retains metallic-like transport behaviour.
Caveat: Absolute conductivity values were read from plotted bar charts, so they are approximate. The qualitative trend is explicitly stated in text.

Adjusting proton concentration during liquid-liquid interfacial self-assembly controls the reaction rate and tunes metal vacancies in Cu-BHT, Ni-BHT, and Ag-BHT films.
Caveat: Ni-BHT and Ag-BHT synthesis details are partly abbreviated as a similar process; vacancy inference is primarily compositional and spectroscopic.
