Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium
Cationic dye adsorption is promoted at alkaline pH because ZIF-7 is negatively charged above pHPZC 7.5, favouring electrostatic attraction to MB and BG.
Caveat: Mechanism is inferred by the authors from pH response and kinetic/isotherm fits rather than direct surface-complex evidence.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium
Adsorption thermodynamics indicate an endothermic and spontaneous adsorption process for MB and BG on ZIF-7.
Caveat: Thermodynamic constants are adsorption-derived and depend on the authors' Kc definition.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium
MB and BG adsorption kinetics on ZIF-7 are best described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, consistent with chemisorption.
Caveat: Model-fit assignment relies on linearised kinetic models; no independent mechanistic spectroscopy is reported.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High
The synthesised product is crystalline ZIF-7, supported by PXRD peaks matching known rhombohedral ZIF-7/JCPDS data and EDX detection of C, N and Zn.
Caveat: No CIF or Rietveld refinement is provided in the assigned documents.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High
ZIF-7 is described as mesoporous with BET surface area 94.19 m2 g-1 and average pore size 2.79 nm.
Caveat: BET/BJH numerical values are reported in text; raw sorption data are not provided.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium
The AC conduction mechanism of pristine ZIF-7 is assigned to the overlapping large-polaron tunneling (OLPT) model.
Caveat: The article does not report device preparation/contact geometry, and S values are only available from the plotted figure.
