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: Medium

Penetrating channels with many sulfur/oxygen lone-pair sites and coordination hydroxyl redox sites are proposed as a design strategy for higher power and capacitance in MOF electrodes.

Caveat: This is a design recommendation extrapolated from two materials.

main p.9 (journal p.17286) · 4. Conclusions · Linked to 4 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

Even though Ni-mba-Na and Ni-mba-K are nonconductive/insulating MOFs, they can function as supercapacitor electrode materials when they contain electrochemically active subunits.

Caveat: The materials are explicitly not conductive MOFs; application relevance is peripheral to the conductive-MOF database.

main p.8 (journal p.17285) · 4. Conclusions · Linked to 6 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The MOFs are not generally stable in all alkaline environments: saturated ammonia decomposes them to H2mba and Ni(OH)2, even though electrochemical cycling in 6 M KOH is stable under electric field.

Caveat: The paper proposes reversible electrochemical reactions prevent alkaline hydrolysis under electric fields.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Hexanuclear Ni(II) cluster subunits containing sulfhydryl groups and [Ni2(OH)3]+ sites are proposed to trigger redox activity and pseudocapacitance under electric fields.

Caveat: Mechanism is proposed from structure/performance correlations and schematic redox equations, not directly time-resolved spectroscopy.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The larger K+ support pillar is argued to enlarge interlayer space, reduce ion migration resistance, and give Ni-mba-K//NDC lower Rs/Rct and higher specific energy than Ni-mba-Na//NDC.

Caveat: Causal assignment is inferred from K+ radius and device electrochemistry; no direct in situ transport map is provided.
