Cover Story: Pre-lithiation is considered to be a highly appealing technique to compensate for active lithium losses and, therefore, to increase the practical energy density of rechargeable energy storage devices. We provide a comprehensive overview of the various concepts for pre-lithiation and, controversially, discuss their advantages and challenges. Further, we critically discuss possible effects on cell performance and assess the techniques with regard to their possible commercial exploitation. View the paper.
