Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) is widely applied as the cathode material for the energy storage Li-ion batteries due to its low cost and high cycling stability. However, the low theoretical specific capacity of LiFePO₄ makes its initial capacity loss more concerning. Therefore, lithium compensation by way of prelithiation and applications of sacrificial Li-rich additives in LiFePO₄ is imminent in elevating the energy density and/or prolonging the lifetime of the LiFePO₄-based Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Prelithiation in LiFePO₄ is herein carried out by electrochemical and chemical methods and its feasibility is proved on the basis of the electrochemical evaluations such as the initial charge capacity and the cycling stability. In addition, the site of the pre-intercalated Li-ions is found via comprehensive physical characterizations and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Furthermore, these findings open a new avenue for elevating the energy density and/or prolonging the lifetime of the high-energy-density batteries.
