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

PDMS encapsulation blocks gas permeation to selected channels, enabling temperature-only response and gas-temperature decoupling in the four-channel MEMS sensor.

Caveat: PDMS precursor formulation is not reported in the available text.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

The MBTA-MEMS sensor was integrated with ADC/MCU/Bluetooth hardware for real-time CO and temperature monitoring and multi-level alarms in a simulated battery-pack environment.

Caveat: Demonstration used simulated DMC/DEC electrolyte environment rather than actual abusive-cell thermal runaway.

p.10 · Results and Discussion, 2.5 · Figure 7 · Linked to 6 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

Humidity and air reduce CO response by occupying adsorption sites, but the authors argue this is negligible for the intended anhydrous battery-pack environment.

Caveat: Humidity response values are mainly figure-based and no full SI table is available.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The 1D MBTA chains possess pi-pi/pi-d conjugation and abundant delocalised electrons, supporting measurable electrical conductivity in the powder and film samples.

Caveat: Film conductivity numeric values are blocked by the incomplete SI table text layer.

p.3 · Results and Discussion, 2.1 · Figure 2 · Linked to 8 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

CO selectivity is attributed to Lewis acid-base coordination between CO and open metal sites in MBTA, producing charge transfer and resistance/current changes.

Caveat: Selectivity values for individual non-CO gases mostly come from figure labels and visual estimates.

p.7 · Results and Discussion, 2.3 · Figure 5 · Linked to 6 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

CuBTA recovers faster than NiBTA because mixed Cu(I)/Cu(II) sites provide CO affinity while weakening overly strong binding, whereas NiBTA binds CO more strongly and desorbs more slowly.

Caveat: Mechanistic attribution combines experimental kinetics and DFT adsorption models.
