Abstract Lithium-ion capacitors have emerged as a research hotspot in the energy storage field due to their advantages of high power density, high energy density, and long cycle life. However, their electrochemical performance is significantly constrained by the initial coulombic efficiency of the anode during the first charge-discharge cycle. To overcome this bottleneck, cathode prelithiation technology, which introduces sacrificial lithium-containing materials, has become a key strategy. During the device activation stage, this approach compensates for the irreversible lithium ion loss caused by the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase on the anode. This review systematically summarizes the design principles and recent advancements in cathode prelithiation materials. Particular emphasis is placed on the application examples and performance advantages of binary lithium compounds, lithium-rich transition metal oxides, and organic lithium salts in lithium-ion capacitors. In addition, this review provides an in-depth analysis of the key challenges and potential development pathways associated with sacrificial lithium salt-based cathode prelithiation in practical applications. The aim is to provide theoretical guidance for the development of novel prelithiation materials with low working potentials and high irreversible capacities, and to lay a technical foundation for establishing structure-performance relationships between prelithiation processes and device-level electrochemical performance.
