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 conductive Co-MOF can be directly grown on Ni foam and used as an integrated supercapacitor electrode without conductive additives or polymer binders.

Caveat: The electrochemical device is a three-electrode test in KOH, not a full commercial cell.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

Co-CTAB-6 improves cycling stability relative to Co-MOF, retaining 77.92% capacitance after 3000 cycles compared with 64.04% for Co-MOF.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

CTAB changes the Co-MOF growth environment and Ni proportion; a CTAB:H6TATAT ratio of 6:1 gives the best storage performance among the tested series.

Caveat: CTAB-8 has a higher Ni/Co ratio but lower capacitance because the structure begins to collapse.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Ni2+ partially dissolves from Ni foam during solvothermal growth and is captured in cages or on the surface of the anionic Co-MOF through electrostatic interactions.

Caveat: Based on main-text XPS/EDS interpretation; detailed SI mapping for Co-CTAB-6 is missing.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The Co-MOF's relatively high conductivity is attributed to the unique anionic framework, balanced ions, redox-active [Co(H2O)6]2+ guest molecules and guest-framework charge-transfer interactions.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation is argued from structure and conductivity; the detailed conductivity Table S1 is missing with the SI.
