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

Co-CAT MOF is presented as a promising anode for both potassium- and lithium-ion storage, including half-cell and Co-CAT//LiCoO2 full-cell configurations.

Caveat: Electrodes include conductive carbon and binder; reported performance is electrode/device performance rather than intrinsic framework-only behaviour.

4083 · Conclusions · Linked to 4 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

The measured XRD pattern is consistent with calculated Co-CAT crystals, supporting phase-pure Co-CAT MOF with stacked two-dimensional conjugated planes.

Caveat: No CIF/local crystallographic data file was assigned; extraction uses article XRD discussion and figures.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The authors attribute the high electrochemical rate performance to the conductive, planar conjugated Co-CAT framework and nanowire network, which promote charge and ion transfer.

Caveat: No direct electrical conductivity measurement of Co-CAT MOF is reported in the paper.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Lithium storage differs from potassium storage because both benzene rings and inner pores are proposed as active sites, consistent with capacities exceeding the 785.4 mA h g^-1 8-electron ring capacity.

Caveat: Inner-pore lithium-storage contribution is inferred from capacity and ex situ characterisation rather than directly quantified.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Potassium storage occurs through reversible interaction/redox at benzene-ring C=C sites, while Co nodes remain divalent and are not active storage sites.

Caveat: Mechanism inferred from ex situ spectra and capacity matching; no operando structural proof is reported.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

PIB storage kinetics are mainly pseudocapacitive, with b = 0.89 and pseudocapacitive contribution rising to 93.9% at 2.0 mV s^-1.
