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

I2@FeTHQ provides sensitive non-enzymatic AA sensing over a broad range with low LOD, fast response, selectivity, and reusable/reproducible electrodes.

Caveat: Some selectivity bar values are visual estimates from Figure 2f.

Composite RoleSupport assessment: High

The filter-paper composite enables wet adhesion, fast sweat uptake, stable bending performance, and practical wireless sweat AA monitoring.

Caveat: Human volunteer sample size is small and application data are proof-of-concept.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Vapour-phase iodine doping preserves the FeTHQ framework crystallographic pattern and nanosphere morphology while introducing non-crystalline polyiodide guests.

Caveat: No CIF was supplied in the assignment; phase assignment relies on reported PXRD/SEM/spectroscopy.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

DFT supports that iodine changes the DOS/Fermi level and lowers the initial AA adsorption step, consistent with improved electroconductivity and AA response.

Caveat: Computational details are reported, but numerical free-energy points are mainly read from text summaries and the figure.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Vapour-phase diffusion gives more homogeneous iodine doping than physical grinding and remains robust on scaled-up partitioned samples.

Caveat: Bulk homogeneity CV/EIS values are mostly graphical/qualitative rather than tabulated.

2 · Results · Figure S9-S17 · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Iodine doping improves FeTHQ charge transport by redox-state modulation, increasing ligand radical character and changing Fe redox balance rather than by non-specific ion effects.

Caveat: Carrier-density values are described qualitatively; exact carrier density is not reported in the extracted text.
