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

Fe0.33-Ni0.67-MOF is the optimal composition, reaching about 100% NO conversion at low temperature and zero N2O yield above 225 C under CO-SCR conditions.

Caveat: Catalytic performance is not an electrical-transport or thermoelectric measurement.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

Despite a statement that higher Ni3+ abundance can benefit electronic conduction transport, the paper does not report first-hand electrical transport, thermoelectric, or electrochemical measurements for the MOF samples.

Caveat: This extraction therefore records spectroscopy/catalysis evidence only and leaves electrical_transport and thermoelectric measurements absent.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Fe modification increases BET surface area, promotes longer rodlike crystal growth along the (001) direction, raises Ni3+ concentration, and increases surface oxygen vacancy indicators, which the authors connect to enhanced low-temperature CO-SCR activity.

Caveat: The structure-property link is mechanistic interpretation from characterisation and catalysis correlations, not direct transport measurement.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

A special Fe-Ov-Ni surface synergistic oxygen-vacancy structure is proposed to weaken N-O bonds, promote nitrate/nitrite intermediates, and improve low-temperature NO reduction.

Caveat: The Fe-Ov-Ni motif is a proposed mechanism based on XPS and in situ FT-IR observations rather than a directly solved atomistic structure.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The authors propose that Fe/Ni redox equilibrium and Fe-O-Ni mixed bonds modify the local electronic structure of Ni centres and accelerate electronic transfer during SCR reactions.

Caveat: Electronic transfer is inferred from XPS/H2-TPR and reaction chemistry; no conductivity, Seebeck, Hall, or device transport data were reported.
