Compared to the reported external standard method used in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), we developed an internal standard method, which offers higher accuracy and reliability, with the maximum error decreased from 9.54 % to 3.48 %. Moreover, the quantitative accuracy of the calibration curves remains unchanged after 2 months. Multi-instruments analysis is also utilized for the extraction and quantitative analysis of electrolyte in practical battery systems, achieving less than 5 % quantification error for all compositions. With our proposed method, it becomes possible to determine the absolute amounts of all electrolyte compositions, rather than obtaining limited information such as concentration or relative content.

Among the array of precursors available, wood stands out as a prominent candidate that covered over 30 % of the global land surface. Renowned for its captivating mechanical properties and anisotropic hierarchical porosity finely tuned to facilitate swift pathways, wood embodies attributes of abundance and biodegradability. Consequently, scientists have drawn inspiration from wood's exceptional characteristics to engineer batteries exhibiting remarkable electrochemical performance.

In this work, polyacrylic acid (PAA) with different neutralization degrees is used for the fabrication of Si anodes for practical applications. The electrochemical performance in full pouch cells reveals that the increase in neutralization degree of PAA up to 70 % enhances the overall performance by improved electrode properties, higher first cycle efficiency (FCE up to 78.1 % at C/3) and better capacity retention (85.4 % after 150 cycles at 1 C) over cycling, while with even higher neutralization degrees (such as 80 %) the performance declines. Since proper mixing of the slurry is another important factor, we optimized the mixing procedure by increasing the solid content of the slurry, which has shown positive influence on the electrochemical performance and electrode properties.
