The reported specific capacitance values (393 F g⁻¹ for three-electrode tests and 86 F g⁻¹ for the symmetric supercapacitor) seem unusually high for the described materials, suggesting possible overestimation or experimental errors. Key electrochemical data, such as CV curves, lack clarity in confirming EDLC or pseudocapacitive behavior, raising doubts about reproducibility. Comparative benchmarking with standard materials is insufficient, and some referenced methods lack proper attribution, weakening credibility. I kindly encourage the authors to address these critical issues to strengthen the rigor, credibility, and overall impact of the study’s findings.
