** Analysis of the chemical composition of the electrodes havested from the pouch cells: From the negative and positive electrodes, two samples at each SoC with a weight of about 1 g were cut and individually dissolved in 30 ml of ''aqua regia'' - a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid. The resulting solutions were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The measurements were carried out using a Vista-PRO radial, supplied by Varian Inc. | ** Analysis of the chemical composition of the electrodes havested from the pouch cells: From the negative and positive electrodes, two samples at each SoC with a weight of about 1 g were cut and individually dissolved in 30 ml of ''aqua regia'' - a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid.

* | * Electrochemical tests: All electrochemical tests were conducted within a controlled environment at a constant temperature of 25 °C. Depending on space requirements and duration of the experiment, a Vötsch VT<sup>3</sup> 4018-S, a Vötsch VT 4021-S, a Weiss WKL 34/70, or a Memmert IPP 260<sup>PLUS</sup> were used to control ambient conditions. A Maccor Series 4000 galvanostat was used to perform cycling tests. | ||
