Abstract: The present disclosure relates to prelithiated Si electrodes, methods of prelithiating Si electrodes, and use of prelithiated electrodes in electrochemical devices are described. There are several characteristics of electrode prelithiation that enable the superior battery performance. First, a prelithiated silicon anode is already in its expanded state during SEI formation, and therefore less of the SEI layer breaks down and reforms during cycling. Second, the prelithiated anode has a lower anode potential, which may also help the cycle performance of an electrochemical device. A silicon-based electrode, for use in energy storage devices, may have prelithiated silicon active material with a prelithiation level of above 0% to about 30%, with a lithium source within the energy storage devices providing excess lithium for contributing at least a portion of the prelithiation of the silicon active material.
