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

NC@CoFe2O4 and NC@NiFe2O4 show higher reversible capacities and rate capability than the corresponding ferrite controls and Fe2O3.

Caveat: Some NC@CoFe2O4 capacity values differ slightly between main text and SI Table S1.

main p.9, article p.10583 · Conclusions · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Oxygen vacancies are inferred from O 1s XPS deconvolution and are claimed to promote faster Li-ion transport and electrochemical performance.

Caveat: OII/OI ratios are described qualitatively as larger but exact ratios are not reported in text.

main p.3-4, article pp.10577-10578 · Results and Discussion · Figures 5f and 6f · Linked to 2 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

N-doped carbon nanosheets are derived from Zn-hexamine coordination frameworks and act as a substrate for subsequent ferrite nanoparticle growth.

Caveat: The precursor framework structure is not characterised in detail in this article.

main p.1, article p.10575 · Introduction

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Combining oxygen vacancies with conductive N-doped carbon nanosheets lowers interfacial charge-transfer resistance and increases calculated Li-ion diffusion coefficients.

Caveat: The reported diffusion coefficients are calculated from EIS Randles-plot slopes rather than directly measured tracer diffusion.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Higher CV b values for NC@CoFe2O4 and NC@NiFe2O4 indicate enhanced pseudocapacitive storage behaviour and faster electrochemical reaction kinetics.

Caveat: The values are reported as peak-wise ranges, and capacitive contribution percentages are not extracted from the text.
