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

AgMOF/GCE is the best H2O2 sensing platform among the studied electrodes, with 0.7 nM LOD, 1300 uA mM-1 cm-2 sensitivity and broad linear range.

Caveat: Reproducibility/selectivity comparisons are in text-only SI Table S2/Figs. S12-S13; main text reports summary only.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

AgMOF/GCE live-cell chronoamperometry distinguishes normal L929 cells, HeLa cancer cells and glial cancer cell lines by released H2O2 level, with higher H2O2 in T98G and LN18 brain cancer cells.

Caveat: Biological validation is application-context evidence, not a transport property; colourimetric results are systematically higher for some lines and are discussed as interconversion/interference-prone.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

AgMOF/GCE retains selective H2O2 response in interferent and serum-spiked tests, with Table S2 recoveries generally near 96-100% at 1-5 uM H2O2.

Caveat: Lowest 0.1 uM serum recovery is lower, especially sample 1 at 86.3%, so the broad text claim of 99% recovery over all concentrations is overstated.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: Medium

AgMOF-5 was successfully synthesised as an Ag-O coordinated silver MOF and transformed to Ag-N coordinated Ag nanospheres by ligand exchange/calcination.

Caveat: Main-text summary is strong, but detailed XPS/EDS tables and some supporting spectra are in text-only SI.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Ag+ ions in AgMOF act as catalytic centres for H2O2 disproportionation/decomposition, and the AgMOF structure improves both catalytic activity and conductivity.

Caveat: Mechanistic assignment is based on electrochemical behaviour, XPS and literature reasoning rather than direct operando mechanistic measurement.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

AgMOF/GCE has much better charge transfer than Ag nanosphere/GCE, attributed to Ag+ centres, Ag-Ag interactions, terephthalate/benzene conjugation and aromatic stacking, whereas Ag-N ligand exchange disrupts the conductive framework.

Caveat: Direct electronic conductivity was not reported as a four-probe conductivity; EIS/Rct is the transport proxy.
