As the world is moving towards technological advancement and industrial revolution, the need for eco-friendly and portable energy sources for various applications is and will going to increase. We are surrounded by so many gadgets to run our daily life smoothly. Li-ion battery stood out as the most reliable and suitable device for storing energy so far which have applications from small scale to bigger applications like electric vehicles. Highest theoretical capacity of 3860 mAhg
−1 for Li metal anodes, lightweight, high energy density and many other parameters makes it attractive choice for the applications whereas it shows the lowest electrochemical potential of −3.04V versus standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). Researchers are trying the alternate materials for cathode and anode where different structural cathode materials are being tested and various anode chemistries have been tried. Silicon anode has the potential to replace the regular graphite anode-material as it has 10 times the specific capacity as compare to graphite. This paper reviews the anode materials which are currently under research to enhance the characteristics of Li-ion battery in comparison with the currently commercialized graphite anode (372 mAhg−1 ) that how structural and morphological modification can change the properties like cycle life, shelf life, specific capacity, charge rate and stability of the materials.
