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

Amide-functionalised Cu-HBB-MOF outperforms imine Cu-Salphen-MOF in potassium-ion battery capacity, cycling stability and rate capability.

Caveat: Battery measurements use composite electrodes containing Super P and PVDF; blank control is qualitative/minimal-impact rather than fully quantified in text.

p005 / 18342 · Electrochemical Characterization · Figure 3 · Linked to 6 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The 6OH-HBB ligand coordinates Cu2+ through both the N2O2 pocket and peripheral hydroxyl groups, forming a layered 2D Cu-HBB-MOF with multiple active sites.

Caveat: Structure is assigned by PXRD/Rietveld and HRTEM, not single-crystal MOF data.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Cu-HBB-MOF maintains its framework and Cu coordination environment during K+ insertion/extraction and long-term cycling.

Caveat: Cycled-state measurements are on composite electrodes; SI notes particles in some microscopy images include Super P + PVDF.

p008 / 18345 · K+ storage mechanism · Figures S38-S42; Tables S10-S16 · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

DFT/MESP calculations indicate metallic electronic character and three classes of K+ binding sites, supporting a 12 K+ per repeating-unit storage mechanism.

Caveat: Electronic transport is inferred from computed DOS; no experimental conductivity or mobility measurement is provided in this paper.

p008 / 18345 · DFT calculations · Figure 5 · Linked to 6 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Cu-HBB-MOF has lower charge-transfer resistance, higher capacitive contribution and higher K+ diffusion coefficients than Cu-Salphen-MOF, indicating faster electrochemical kinetics.

Caveat: No direct four-probe electrical conductivity value is reported for the MOF powders or films.
