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

SKIER-5 retains much higher capacity than commercial graphite at sub-zero temperatures and maintains 163 mA h g^-1 after 180 cycles at -20 C.

Caveat: Electrodes contain 50 wt% Super P in the SKIER-5 composite, so application performance is not a pristine-MOF-only electrode result.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

Most electrochemical metrics are measured on a SKIER-5/Super P/PVDF composite with a 47:50:3 mass ratio, so database consumers should not treat those values as pure SKIER-5-only electrode data.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

SKIER-5 is assigned as a one-dimensional Ni(TATH) conductive MOF with square-planar Ni(II)-N coordination and P1 symmetry.

Caveat: Structure is assigned by PXRD/Pawley refinement supported by DFT and EXAFS; no CIF was provided in the assigned documents.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The p-d conjugated SKIER-5 structure and narrow calculated band gap are linked to measurable room-temperature electrical conductivity.

Caveat: Conductivity units/values conflict between the main text and SI comparison table.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

DFT and MD indicate favourable Li binding near N, S and F sites and one-dimensional Li diffusion along the polymer-chain direction.

Caveat: Classical MD does not explicitly capture charge exchange; authors state this limitation.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Charge storage is proposed to involve a three-electron redox process, with two electrons on TATH and one electron on Ni.

Caveat: Mechanistic assignment is inferred from ex situ XPS/NEXAFS peak changes and in situ stability measurements rather than directly counting electrons during cycling.
