Abstract Prelithiation is recognized as an effective technology for addressing the depletion of active lithium, but conventional methods are constrained by their reliance on singular lithium replenishment mechanisms and limited functionality. Herein, a synergistic and comprehensive lifecycle prelithiation technology is introduced as applicable to both anode and cathode. For anode prelithiation, highly reactive biphenyl lithium is leveraged as a lithium replenishing agent, supplemented by functional additives, ethoxy(pentafluoro)cyclotriphosphazene (PFPN) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), to generate a robust SEI enriched with Li 3 N, LiF, Li 3 P and Li 2 O. This approach not only compensates for the initial active lithium loss but also fortifies the structural integrity of the SEI. For cathode prelithiation, the high‐capacity lithium replenisher Li 2 C 2 O 4 and Li 2 C 4 O 4 comprising B, N double‐doped carbon loaded Mo 2 C‐W 2 C (Mo‐W@BNC) heterogeneous catalysts is employed, which exhibits superior catalytic performance in facilitating the release of lithium. The exceptional efficient liberations of lithium are achieved at discharge voltages of 3.78 V and 4.14 V for Li 2 C 2 O 4 and Li 2 C 2 O 4 , respectively. The prelithiation for both anode and cathode mitigates the initial active lithium loss by 22.6%. Moreover, a singular activation during subsequent usage contributes an additional 0.8 mAh cm −2 of active lithium, achieving a capacity retention of 99.3% after 250 cyc...
