Initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) is critical for determining the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) used for practical applications; however, it is typically disregarded in anode research. We used SiO_x and graphite composite anodes for commercial lithium-ion batteries in our preliminary research to achieve a balance between ICE, capacity, and cycling life. ICE reached 88%; however, it needs further improvement for commercial applications. Prelithiation is a process that involves the introduction of extra lithium ions into LIBs during their manufacturing to enhance the overall performance of the LIBs. We applied a chemical prelithiation method on our SiO_x/graphite composite anodes, which comprised 95 wt % of the active material mass loading on the electrode. The ICE increased from 88% to 98% using an aryllithium reagent impregnation method within 2 min of prelithiation. The anode’s specific capacity density, rate, and cycle performance also significantly improved. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging enhanced by an osmium tetroxide staining method indicated that the P-anode contained a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer after the prelithiation process and cycling electrochemical test. The P-anode’s stable charge differential peak over 500 cycles also showcases a robust artificial SEI layer that was generated by the prelithiation procedure. This prelithiation process has significant potential for adoption in the LIB industry’s current electrode manufacturing process.
