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

The bipolar electrode design is claimed to maintain simulated temperature below 45 C even at 3000 V cm^-1, reducing risk of thermal damage.

Caveat: Temperature result is simulation-derived and reported as a threshold.

2022 · 3.1 Design and simulation experiments · Fig. 1; Fig. S4 · Linked to 1 structured result

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The authors state that the combination therapy is still at an initial stage and requires extensive preclinical data before clinical translation.

2026-2028 · 3.6 and Conclusions

Composite RoleSupport assessment: Medium

Ni3(HITP)2@PDA is proposed to alter the local conductive environment, increase cellular conductivity, amplify ROS, and enhance bipolar IRE tumour-cell killing.

Caveat: Mechanistic claims are based on application assays and qualitative imaging rather than direct electrical mapping in tissue.

2025 · 3.5 In vitro therapeutic mechanism · Fig. 4; Fig. S18-S19 · Linked to 3 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Ni3(HITP)2@PDA formation is supported by microscopy, EDS nitrogen mapping, retained XRD crystallinity, FTIR PDA bands, and XPS composition changes.

Caveat: No raw spectra or crystallographic files were included in the assigned text layer.

2022 · 3.3 Characterization of conductive MOF · Fig. 2; Fig. S12 · Linked to 7 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

PDA surface functionalisation improves the dispersibility of Ni3(HITP)2, as reflected by lower PDI.

Caveat: PDI values are reported directly, but the SI does not provide raw DLS distributions beyond the figure.

2022 · 3.3 Characterization of conductive MOF · Fig. S11 · Linked to 2 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

PDA coating does not eliminate conductivity of the Ni3(HITP)2 framework; solution conductivity increases with concentration and remains comparable to pristine Ni3(HITP)2 in SI Fig. S14.

Caveat: Conductivity values are figure-axis estimates from solution measurements, not exact tabulated solid-state conductivities.
