Summary
Prelithiation enhances lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) by adding lithium ions to compensate for losses. This review focuses on solid-state LIBs, addressing unique interface and transport challenges for improved energy storage.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science
- Electrochemistry
- Energy Storage
Background:
- Prelithiation is crucial for boosting energy density and cycle life in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
- Existing reviews primarily cover liquid LIBs, neglecting solid-state LIBs (SSLIBs).
- SSLIBs present unique prelithiation challenges, including material uniformity and rigid solid-solid interfaces.
Purpose of the Study:
- To consolidate various prelithiation techniques for LIBs.
- To systematically analyze the relationship between component prelithiation and electrochemical performance in full cells.
- To discuss the specific challenges of prelithiation in SSLIBs.
Main Methods:
- Integration of diverse prelithiation techniques.
- Systematic introduction of the dynamic correlation between component prelithiation and electrochemical performance.
- Discussion of challenges related to solid-solid interfaces and Li+ transport in SSLIBs.
Main Results:
- Identified uniformity and kinetic challenges in SSLIB prelithiation.
- Established a dynamic correlation between prelithiation and performance.
- Highlighted the importance of addressing interface and transport issues.
Conclusions:
- Prelithiation strategies need adaptation for SSLIBs.
- Future prelithiation research should focus on overcoming solid-state interface and ion transport limitations.
- This work guides the development of advanced premetallation agents for high-energy, safe energy storage systems.
