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

HTM-FJU-17 improves PSC photovoltaic performance relative to pristine HTM, increasing maximum PCE from 18.32% to 20.34% and average PCE from 17.77% to 19.50%.

Caveat: Performance is in MAPbI3 PSC architecture used here; broader device generality is not shown.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

HTM-FJU-17 substantially improves operational, ambient and thermal stability of PSCs compared with pristine HTM.

Caveat: Several stability values are rounded or approximate; raw SI plots/tables were not readable from supplied text.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

Adding MOFs into HTM may increase fabrication complexity and cost, so further work is needed to simplify device fabrication.

5 · 3. Results and discussion

Composite RoleSupport assessment: High

FJU-17 acts as a capsule-type additive: Me2NH2+ counterions passivate organic cation vacancies while the anionic framework stabilises oxidised HTM and enhances hole mobility.

Caveat: Passivation mechanism is inferred from XPS/PL/TRPL and comparison with FJU-10; direct tracking of individual ions is indirect.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The cationic FJU-10 control increases HTM hole mobility but decreases device PCE, supporting the authors' argument that FJU-17's Me2NH2+ vacancy-passivation ability matters in addition to mobility.

Caveat: Full FJU-10 synthetic recipe is not reported in the local main/SI; SI gives a schematic and amount-screening table.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Introducing FJU-17 into HTM improves hole transport and reduces charge recombination in PSCs.

Caveat: Transport metrics are reported for HTM film or full device, not isolated single-crystal MOF conductivity.
