Rechargeable lithium (Li) batteries have garnered significant academic research interest and achieved remarkable commercial success. Inactive lithium is one of the important reasons for the capacity degradation. To extend the battery lifespan, reactivation of inactive lithium is highly expected, and becomes one of the current research hotspots. With ongoing advancements, new insights and reactivation strategies have been developed for addressing this issue. This review presents a comprehensive summary of current methods for recovering inactive lithium, mainly including pulse-induced techniques, electric-field relaxation, and redox-mediated strategies. Beyond evaluating their potential for industrial applications, this review also provides a foundation for future research on the recovery of other inactive materials in next-generation alkali metal-based batteries.
