Abstract
Systems and methods for a lithium-ion battery cell are disclosed. In one example, a method for forming a cathode for a lithium-ion battery cell includes forming a pre-lithiated cathode with a pre-lithiation reagent and positioning the pre-lithiated cathode in contact with an electrolyte. An electrolyte additive is injected into the electrolyte to form a passivation layer at the pre-lithiated cathode, the passivation layer inhibiting continued decomposition of the pre-lithiation reagent of the pre-lithiated cathode after completion of a formation cycle of the lithium-ion battery cell.
