Lithium-ion batteries have taken over as an energy source because they are renewable, they are more environmentally friendly and eco-friendly than limited resources ike petroleum. Recent research into fast charging and high energy density has contributed to the popularity of lithium-ion batteries with electric vehicles. Nonetheless, xtreme cases of fast charging at high C-rates and low temperatures induce lithium plating on the anode surface. This phenomenon causes dendritic growth that endangers safety through short circuits, thermal runaway, and capacity fade. This review presents a structured evaluation of lithium plating in lithium-ion batteries, focusing on its formation mechanisms, triggering factors, detection methods, and prevention strategies. Various detection techniques-including electrochemical, imaging, physical, chemical, and model-based approaches-are critically assessed based on their sensitivity, practicality, and integration potential. Their strengths and limitations are synthesized and compared. Emerging trends such as hybrid diagnostics and machine learning-assisted detection are also discussed. Finally, future research directions are proposed to support the development of accurate and real-time lithium plating detection for advanced battery management systems. The development of lithium plating is explained.Literature detection methods of lithium plating are reviewed.Prevention strategies of lithium plating are explained.Existing methods are discussed and compared.Prospects of future detection for application are presented.
