•This review article discusses the most recent improvements in lithium-ion batteries' anode materials.•Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become the ideal solution for storing electrical energy in portable devices and electric vehicles.•LIBs possess several highly desirable qualities, including low weight, high energy density, small scale size, negligible memory effects, prolonged cycle life, and low pollution.•The necessity for developing anode materials that might replace conventional graphite anodes, whose capacities have fallen short of the specifications for upcoming high-performance lithium-ion batteries, has been the focus of recent research. Lithium-ion battery (LIB) research and development has witnessed an immense spike in activity in recent years due to the astonishing surge in demand for portable, environmentally acceptable energy sources across various industries. This need has resulted in a significant increase in the number of companies conducting LIB research and storing electrical energy and the intrinsic features that they contain. LIBs have become the go-to alternative for storing electrical energy in portable devices and electric vehicles. These properties include a lightweight structure, a high energy density, a small size, little memory effects, an extended lifespan, and environmental friendliness. Other advantages include a longer lifespan and a reduced impact on the environment. This review thoroughly examines energy storage technology changes. It shows the move away from environmentally harmful energy sources to greener ones. It highlights the need for creative energy storage options to match our rapidly changing technological world.
