METHOD OF FABRICATING A PRE-LITHIATED ELECTRODE AND LITHIUM-ION BATTERY CELL

The present invention provides a method of fabricating a pre-lithiated electrode, comprising: disposing a Li-PET sheet comprising a layer of lithium metal adjacent to a prefabricated electrode comprising a layer of anode material; contacting a surface of the layer of anode material with a surface of the layer of lithium metal; and calendering the layer of lithium metal and the prefabricated electrode together. [0002] The present invention further provides a lithium-ion battery cell comprising such pre-lithiated eletrode.
