By blending 3–8 wt% of Li2C4O4 or Na2C4O4 directly into the cathode slurry, these excess ions are provided in situ, preventing first-cycle capacity drop and boosting full-cell Coulombic efficiency. (2) \u003cstrong\u003eControlled Sacrificial Gas Release\u003c\/strong\u003e: The oxidation of the squarate core occurs within a targeted voltage window during initial formation, allowing controlled gas venting prior to final cell sealing or via pouch-cell degassing steps, ensuring zero gas swelling during subsequent cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; height: 260.488px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 46.8875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.6028%; height: 46.8875px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart Number\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.0375%; height: 46.8875px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCCPLSAPCSA (C-CPLSA-PC-SA)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.6028%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCAS\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.0375%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2892-51-5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.6028%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePurity\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.0375%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u0026gt;99.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.6028%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAppearance\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.0375%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhite Powder\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.6028%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMolecular Weight\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.0375%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e114.06 g\/mol\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.6028%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003eMelt Point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.0375%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u0026gt;300 °C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.6028%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003ePackage Grade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.0375%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e25 g, 50 g, and 100 g\/bottle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Please store the squaric acid powder in a dry place.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1002\/advs.202201742\"\u003eA.
