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

The (Zn/Ni)2(bdc)2P//AC asymmetric supercapacitor provides 12.2 W h kg-1 at 371.5 W kg-1 and can power red and yellow LEDs in series-connected devices.

Caveat: LED demonstration is qualitative and shown as an inset image.

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

Cycle stability of both Ni2(bdc)2P and (Zn/Ni)2(bdc)2P electrodes is poor because active material may detach from the current collector during cycling.

Caveat: Mechanism is proposed by authors; no post-cycling adhesion or morphology result is shown in the main text.

8 · 3.2 Electrochemical measurements · Fig. 6f · Linked to 2 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

Zn2(bdc)2P is unsuitable as an energy-storage electrode despite very high surface area, attributed to ultralow electrical conductivity of Zn-based MOF materials.

Caveat: No direct conductivity value is reported; the conductivity statement is an author interpretation from electrochemical behaviour.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Zn2+ partially replaces Ni2+ in the pillared Ni2(bdc)2P framework to form (Zn/Ni)2(bdc)2P.

Caveat: No CIF files were available locally; SI figures were available for supplementary XRD/XPS/EDS checks.

3-5 · 3.1 Structure characterization · Figs. 2-4 · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Higher electrochemical capacity of (Zn/Ni)2(bdc)2P than Ni2(bdc)2P is attributed to increased specific surface area after Zn introduction.

Caveat: The claim is correlational; no direct electronic conductivity measurement is reported.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Ni2(bdc)2P shows hybrid charge storage with dominant battery behaviour based on b values between 0.5 and 1.0.

Caveat: The supporting fit is shown in Supplementary Fig. S6(b) and the b values are also reported in the main text.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

(Zn/Ni)2(bdc)2P capacity arises from both battery and capacitive behaviours, mainly influenced by diffusion-limited battery behaviour.
