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: Medium

MEA testing differs from 3-electrode testing because electrolyte circulation and Ni foam support mitigate gas-bubble and carbon-corrosion artefacts seen in carbon-fibre-paper 3-electrode setups.

Caveat: Mechanistic explanation is partly interpretive but explicitly argued by authors.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The main text states twenty-five distinct isostructural MOFs were examined, whereas the supplied SI Table S1 lists sixteen named compositions; the sample-level extraction follows the SI table.

Caveat: Additional unnamed or unlisted compositions may have been considered by the authors but are not recoverable from the provided Table S1/figures.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

High Co loading greatly raises Cdl/ECSA but does not alone dictate OER activity; Co90Ni5Fe5 has much lower intrinsic activity than Ni5Co47.5Fe47.5 and Fe10Ni45Co45.

Caveat: Intrinsic activity is discussed qualitatively; no numeric ECSA-normalised current density is reported in main text.

5 · 2.2 Electrocatalytic Activity Toward OER · Figure 2f · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The optimal composition is Fe10Ni45Co45, with Ni and Co rich and Fe lean, giving outstanding OER performance in AEMEC at 1 A cm-2.

Caveat: Detailed full composition table and SI supporting figures were unavailable in this extraction batch.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Using FeSO4 as the Fe source stabilises Fe2+ and helps form pristine trimetallic MOF-74 without iron oxide impurities.

Caveat: The detailed recipe and impurity-control evidence are partially in the missing SI.

3 · 2.1 Synthesis and Structure · Linked to 1 structured result

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

The SI provides a common solvothermal MOF-74 synthesis with sample-specific Ni, Co and Fe precursor masses, plus wash, solvent-exchange and activation details.

Caveat: Absolute solvent volumes, autoclave volume and synthesis atmosphere are not reported.

1-2 · Synthesis and Table S1 · Table S1 · Linked to 1 structured result

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

OER activation is linked to dynamic structural/chemical transformation of MOF-74 into oxyhydroxide-like moieties, increased metal oxidation state, compressive strain, and oxygen-vacancy-associated conductivity enhancement.

Caveat: Some supporting XPS and reference spectra are in missing SI figures.
