摘要:Provided are novel electrochemical cells that include positive electrodes,negative electrodes containing high capacity active materials such as silicon, and auxiliaryelectrodes containing lithium. An auxiliary electrode is provided in the cell at least priorto its formation cycling and is used to supply lithium to the negative electrode. Theauxiliary electrode may be then removed from the cell prior or after formation. Thetransfer of lithium to the negative electrode may be performed using a differentelectrolyte, a higher temperature, and/or a slower rate than during later operationalcycling of the cell. After this transfer, the negative electrode may remain pre-lithiatedduring later cycling at least at a certain predetermined level. This pre-lithiation helps tocycle the cell at more optimal conditions and to some degree maintain this cyclingperformance over the operating life of the cell. Also provided are methods of fabricatingsuch cells.
