As the world shifts toward a more sustainable society, the advancement of high-performance lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology becomes increasingly vital in addressing rising CO2 levels. The necessity for higher energy density, propelled by the progression of electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and portable electronics, has highlighted the limitations of traditional graphite anodes. Silicon-based anodes, with their superior theoretical capacity, present a promising alternative. This paper explores the working mechanisms of LIBs and delves into why silicon is an ideal material for anodes. It also delivers an exhaustive overview of Si-based electrodes, emphasizing the significant challenges they face, such as extreme volume expansion and unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) formation, which contribute to a shortened battery lifespan. Potential solutions, including nanostructured designs and novel binder formulations, are discussed, highlighting their advantages and current limitations. The benefits and challenges of Si-based materials as LIB anodes are summarized to guide future research and development in this critical area.
