Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have emerged as the preferred choice for electric vehicles (EVs) owing to their lightness, prolonged lifespan, and superior energy density. Despite graphite's prevalent use as the anode material in the commercial LIB, its limited specific capacity poses challenges in satisfying the escalating energy storage requirements. As a result, high-energy anode materials for LIBs are prioritized. The silicon anode materials have received widespread praise because of their high specific capacity. Still, the structural alterations and growth in volume of silicon anode materials throughout both charging and discharging processes severely restrict their practical uses. Through structural optimization and composite modification of silicon anode materials, their electrochemical performance can be effectively enhanced, which is crucial for the creation of high-energy LIBs. This paper systematically reviews the research progress of the silicon anode and its composite materials in terms of structure optimization, composite modification, and energy storage performance at this stage. It looks forward to the future development patterns of such materials.
