The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a lithiated electrode, which comprises: the deposition, on a substrate, of several layers of a non-lithiated electrode material and several lithium layers in order to form a multilayer consisting of an alternation of layers of non-lithiated electrode material and lithium layers, this multilayer starting with and terminating with a layer of non-lithiated electrode material; and the thermal annealing of the multilayer thus formed. It also relates to a lithiated electrode that can be obtained by this process and to the uses of this electrode: production of thin-film lithium batteries, especially microbatteries for chip cards, “smart” labels, horological articles, miniaturized communications tools, microsystems; production of thin-film supercapacitors and electrochromic cells.
