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

VO-HHTP shows stable framework structure during zinc-battery redox and long-term cycling retention of 74% after 1000 cycles at 2 A g-1.

Caveat: Cycling result is for the 80 wt% composite cathode, not a pristine powder electrode.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

The semiconductive VO-HHTP cathode maintains useful rate capability when the active-material content is increased to 80 wt% and conductive agent reduced to 10 wt%.

Caveat: Several 80 wt% rate capacities are visual estimates from Figure 4b, but cycling retention is directly reported.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

VO-HHTP is assigned as a new HHTP-based MOF/PCP with vertical interconnection formed by octahedral VO6 chains.

Caveat: Structural model is inferred from PXRD, HRTEM, PDF/RDF, Raman, and computations rather than single-crystal diffraction.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The eclipsed stacking/interconnected structure is proposed to enlarge layer spacing, reduce layer slipping, and give a high BET surface area.

Caveat: Causal link is argued by structural interpretation and comparison to reported M-HHTP values.

p.4 / article p.2411386-4 · Results and Discussion · Figure S6 · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

VO-HHTP is semiconductive, with moderate room-temperature pellet conductivity and thermally activated transport consistent with carrier hopping.

Caveat: Conductivity measured on pressed pellet by two-probe methods; contact effects are partly addressed by blank-resistance discussion.

p.5 / article p.2411386-5 · Results and Discussion · Figure 3 · Linked to 5 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Charge storage involves a two-step redox process: HHTP ligand redox at the high-voltage plateau and vanadium redox at the low-voltage plateau.

Caveat: Mechanism is based on ex situ/in situ spectroscopy and differential capacity assignments.
