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

Non-conductive Ni-mba-Na and Ni-mba-K can function as lithium-ion battery electrode materials because they contain electrochemically active sulfur-containing hexanuclear Ni(II) cluster subunits.

Caveat: Electrochemical tests were on composite electrodes containing acetylene black and PVDF, not on binder-free pristine MOF electrodes.

3 · 3.1. Structural characterization · Linked to 6 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

The authors suggest that designing penetrating channels would improve Li+ and charge transport, reduce discharge time and improve rate performance.

Caveat: This is a design recommendation rather than a directly tested structure variant in the paper.

5 · 4. Conclusions · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Ni-mba-K has lower Rct and Warburg diffusion resistance than Ni-mba-Na, attributed to a higher proportion of mesoporous/macroporous hierarchical porous structure.

Caveat: Porosity is described qualitatively and the readable text only gives a shared BET upper bound of <10 m2 g-1.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The two MOFs have very low BET surface areas, yet still deliver high lithium-storage capacities, supporting the authors' emphasis on active Ni/S/O/Cl sites rather than high surface area alone.

Caveat: BET values are read from figure labels; lithium tests use composite electrodes with conductive carbon.

5 · 3.2 Lithium-ion battery performance · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Ni-mba-Na is reported to have better electrochemical performance than Ni-mba-K because its higher conductivity gives faster charging and reversible discharging.

Caveat: The conductivity value for Ni-mba-Na is internally inconsistent between the abstract and results text by one order of magnitude.
