ABSTRACT: Lithium ion battery (LIB) is one of the promising power storage devices in today’s world. Lithium ion battery like other types of electrochemical cell has anodic and cathodic electrode in which lithium ion is intercalated and deinterclated during charging and discharging process respectively. The capacity of lithium ion battery is improved by the development of innovative kinds of electrode. Carbon, metal/semiconductor, metal oxides and metal phosphides/ nitrides/sulfides based nanomaterials improve the capability of LIBs due to their high surface area, low diffusion distance, high electrical and ionic conductivity. Nanostructured materials represent a rapidly growing area in the field of Li-ion batteries because of their substantial advantages in terms of mass transport. In this review anode nanomaterials classified based on type of transition metal/semiconductor such as carbon, silicon, titanium and tin based nanomaterials are discussed. Additionally, different electrochemical reactions, comparative influence of anode materials on LIBs and their applications are widely explained.
