| Use Pattern |
| Sodium-Ion Batteries: Used as a sacrificial presodiation additive to compensate for irreversible sodium loss during initial battery cycling, potentially improving the initial Coulombic efficiency and usable capacity. |
| Sodium-Ion Capacitors: Can serve as a sodium source for presodiation, helping compensate for sodium consumption during electrochemical processes. |
| Advanced Functional Materials: The squarate anion can participate in coordination chemistry, making sodium squarate a potential precursor for research into coordination compounds and other functional materials. |
