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

ZCPL-LAGP enables higher initial and retained Li/LFP full-cell capacity than unprotected LAGP.

Caveat: Full-cell comparison includes different cycle counts for final reported capacities; cathode deterioration may contribute to ZCPL-LAGP fade.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

Li/ZCPL-LAGP/Li maintains much lower and steadier interfacial resistance than Li/LAGP/Li during 300 h cycling.

Caveat: Resistance values are fitted from equivalent circuits; uncertainty not reported.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

The ZCPL component remains chemically stable against Li metal during cycling.

Caveat: Based on Co 2p and N 1s XPS consistency; no quantitative post-cycling peak shifts are tabulated.

Composite RoleSupport assessment: High

The adhesive PEO-based ZCPL coating infiltrates LAGP surface pores/gaps and creates intimate contact, reducing interfacial resistance.

Caveat: Contact improvement is supported by microscopy and EIS fitting; mechanical adhesion is qualitative.

Composite RoleSupport assessment: High

ZCPL protects LAGP from reduction by Li metal, suppressing Li2O2, Ge3+, metallic Ge formation and cracking.

Caveat: XPS comparison is made after electrochemical cycling; exact cycling duration for XPS sample follows symmetric-cell context but is not restated next to every spectrum.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

ZIF-67 addition increases ionic conductivity of the polymer interlayer by about one order of magnitude relative to PEO/LiTFSI.

Caveat: Comparison is between composite ZCPL and MOF-free PEO/LiTFSI control with same PEO:LiTFSI ratio; exact ZCPL conductivities at all SI temperatures are not tabulated.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The microporous structure and ordered channels of ZIF-67 are proposed to promote uniform Li+ flux at the interface, improving long-term plating/stripping stability.

Caveat: Uniform flux is inferred from electrochemical stability and MOF porosity rather than directly imaged Li flux.

3146 · Results · Figure 3d · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Li+ transport in ZCPL is assigned to hopping through amorphous PEO regions, aided by ZIF-67/PEO interactions and ZIF-67 porosity; LAGP conducts by defect-assisted diffusion in NASICON channels.

Caveat: Mechanistic assignment is interpretive and supported indirectly by DSC, porosity, conductivity, and literature; no direct Li+ diffusion measurement is reported.
