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

AC||1-ox gives high device-level energy and cycling stability for a MOF-based supercapattery.

Caveat: Device includes activated carbon negative electrode and conductive/binder additives; comparison to literature is application-level, not intrinsic MOF transport.

p005 / 4676 · 2.3. Electrochemical Behaviors · Figure 4 · Linked to 3 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Iodine-treated 1-ox and 1-ox' retain the crystalline TTF-Cu MOF framework, although PXRD peaks broaden and shift due to iodine intercalation.

Caveat: PXRD changes indicate some structural perturbation after iodine treatment.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The higher three-electrode capacity of iodine-treated 1-ox is attributed to enhanced conductivity and densely aligned active sites in the 2D layered structure.

Caveat: Electrode contains Super P conductive carbon and PTFE binder; reported capacity is for composite electrode preparation.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The coordinated CN- in 1 is generated in situ mainly by S-C bond cleavage of SCN-, avoiding use of highly toxic metal cyanides.

Caveat: Mechanistic assignment is based on precursor screening and literature precedent; no direct isotopic tracing is reported.

p002 / 4673 · 2.1. Synthesis and Crystal Structures

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

The conductivity increase after iodine treatment is mainly attributed to electrical conduction through the oxidised MOF framework and higher TTF radical-cation/free-carrier density, with iodine also contributing.

Caveat: Conductivity was measured on pressed pellets; carrier concentration was inferred spectroscopically rather than directly measured.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Charge/discharge in the 1-ox electrode is organic ligand-centred rather than metal-centred; Cu remains Cu+ while C 1s ratios shift reversibly.

Caveat: Based on ex situ XPS peak assignments after cycling.
