Silicon-based materials have been extensively studied as the typical representation of high capacity anode materials in lithium-ion batteries. Nano-silicon based anodes have been investigated as possible substitute for the commercial graphite or carbon due to their unique surface effect and size effect. The nano-silicon based anode materials in recent years were reviewed, including nano-silicon powder, silicon nanowires, silicon nanotubes and nanosized silicon thin film. The prospects for high energy density lithium ion batteries anode materials were also discussed. The feasible research methods for the nanoscale silicon as anode materials were summarized. The new material for lithium-ion batteries would be promising if some problems can be solved.
