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 and AC||2-ox supercapatteries deliver high specific energy and retain more than 82% capacity after 10000 cycles.

Caveat: Device mass balancing and AC||2-ox cycling plots were read from SI; raw curve data remain unavailable.

p007 / 6627 · 2.5 · Figure 5 and Figure S22 · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The high capacities of 1-ox and 2-ox are attributed mainly to conductivity enhancement rather than the capacity contribution of excess physisorbed iodine.

Caveat: Electrode fabrication details and equations S1-S5 were read from SI; raw electrochemical curves were not available.

p005-p006 / 6625-6626 · 2.4 · Figure 4 and Figure S15 · Linked to 7 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Iodine-treated 1-ox and 2-ox have narrower direct and indirect optical band gaps than pristine 1 and 2, consistent with oxidative doping increasing electronic delocalisation.

Caveat: Band gaps are derived from Kubelka-Munk/Tauc analysis of diffuse-reflectance spectra rather than direct transport gaps.

p030 · 4. Table · Table S3 · Linked to 6 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Face-to-face TTF columns are proposed to facilitate charge delocalisation and help explain enhanced conductivity after iodine doping.

Caveat: Structure-property link is mechanistic interpretation rather than a directly measured charge-transport pathway.

p005 / 6625 · 2.3 · Figure S2 referenced · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

CV/GCD and kinetics analyses indicate battery-type behaviour dominated by a diffusion-controlled process, with capacitive contribution increasing at high scan rate.

Caveat: Most b-value plots and capacitive/diffusive separations are graphical SI values; exact 1-ox percentage range is quoted in main text.

p006 / 6626 · 2.4 · Figures S17-S20 · Linked to 2 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Ex situ PXRD, FTIR and XPS support a stable framework and an organic-ligand-dominated K+ interaction mechanism during charge/discharge, including TTF sulfur active sites.

Caveat: 2-ox ex situ data and proposed Chart S1 were read from the SI; XPS interpretations are assigned from peak shifts rather than direct operando evidence.

p007-p008 / 6627-6628 · 2.5 · Figure 6 · Linked to 5 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Iodine-vapour oxidative doping raises conductivity of the TTF-BPDC MOFs by six to seven orders of magnitude while retaining crystallinity.

Caveat: Conductivity is pressed-pellet bulk/particle measurement; detailed pellet geometry and error estimates are not reported in main text.

p005 / 6625 · 2.3 · Figure 3c,d · Linked to 5 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The authors infer that iodine oxidation occurs mainly on the surface and only about 12% of TTF moieties become radical cations.

Caveat: The absence of iodine residues in single-crystal data and the small channel size are inferential; CIF files were not locally available for independent structure validation.
