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

Ni-TCPP(Co) is the best-performing M2-TCPP(Co) analogue for alkaline 2e-ORR, with 96.5% H2O2 selectivity and 18.2 mol g-1 h-1 flow-cell yield in 1 M KOH.

Caveat: Electrochemical electrodes include CNT/Nafion processing layers.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

Ni-TCPP(Co) remains highly selective in neutral saline/sulfate electrolytes and reaches high H2O2 concentration in 1 M NaCl flow-cell testing.

Caveat: Neutral flow-cell results are from composite GDL electrodes.

6 · Catalytic Performance · Figure 4e-f · Linked to 4 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

Acidic 2e-ORR performance is caveated because Ni2O8 nodes may not remain stable in acidic electrolyte, so activity may mainly come from Co-N4 sites.

Caveat: Source authors explicitly caution about acidic stability.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The framework synthesis is mostly explicit, but PVP is stated in the main text as present during hydrothermal preparation while the SI recipe does not quantify or time its addition.

Caveat: Routes marked partial for this reason.

3 · Morphological and Structural Characterization

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Ni-TCPP(Co) contains independent CoN4 and Ni2O8/Ni-O4 sites separated by about 1.19 nm, enabling both site density and intrinsic 2e-ORR activity.

Caveat: Independence inferred from DFT/electron-transfer analysis and spectroscopy; not a direct operando structural separation measurement.

3 · DFT Screening · Figure 1; Figure 2 · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

TCPP-based c-MOF analogues are argued to have intrinsic metallic/high-conductivity electronic structure from PDOS crossing the Fermi level, but no direct experimental conductivity value is reported for Ni-TCPP(Co).

Caveat: Computational PDOS evidence only; no four-probe or EIS conductivity measurement extracted.
