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

Lowering the device temperature from 300 K to 285 K improves sensitivity, voltage responsivity and detectivity while lowering NEP.

Caveat: The paragraph next to Fig. 6d contains a photosensitivity sequence inconsistent with Table 2 and the plotted trend.

8 · Conclusion · Table 2 · Linked to 8 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The authors state that the hybrid MOF-film photodetector is promising, but further research is needed.

9 · Conclusion · Linked to 3 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

MOF-5 crystallises on ZnO nanorods with recognisable (220) and (400) reflections, while spherical ZnO morphologies do not form crystalline MOF-5 under the same treatment.

Caveat: The reported MOF-5 lattice parameter is extracted as printed but appears physically unusual.

5 · Characterization · Fig. 3a,b · Linked to 3 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

ZnO nanorods are assigned to single-phase hexagonal wurtzite ZnO without impurity peaks.

4 · Characterization · Fig. 3a · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

MOF-5 attachment changes ZnO nanorod photoluminescence by reducing the UV-to-green luminescence ratio and altering charge recombination.

Caveat: The PL apparatus section and results section disagree on excitation wavelength (290 nm versus 280 nm).

6 · Characterization · Fig. 4 · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The MOF-5/ZnO MSM device response is attributed to heterostructure charge separation and a Schottky-contact-limited nonlinear I-V behaviour.

Caveat: Mechanistic band values are schematic figure labels rather than independently tabulated electronic-structure measurements.
