    Abstract: A method for pre-lithiation of a negative electrode for a secondary battery, for reducing the time required for pre-lithiation and reducing changes in volume of the electrode. The method includes immersing a negative electrode for a secondary battery in the electrolyte to perform electrolyte impregnation, and pre-lithiating the negative electrode. Immersing the negative electrode for the secondary battery in an electrolyte includes introducing the prepared negative electrode into an electrolyte bath containing the electrolyte, and removing air bubbles and moisture in the negative electrode by applying a vacuum to the electrolyte bath in which the negative electrode is immersed.

    Abstract: A pre-lithiation apparatus that pre-lithiates a negative electrode structure having a first surface on which a negative electrode is disposed to produce a negative electrode unit of a battery, the apparatus includes a first roll rotatable to wind or unwind the negative electrode structure before the pre-lithiation is performed, a second roll installed to be spaced apart from the first roll and rotatable to wind and collect the negative electrode structure, on which the pre-lithiation is performed, and a lithium roll crossing a direction in which the negative electrode structure is transferred from the first roll to the second roll to come into contact with at least one of a first surface and a second surface of the negative electrode structure while being transferred from the first roll to the second roll. The lithium roll includes a lithium foil and an elastic member.
