Conducting polyaniline is of great research interest to use as anode material for lithium-ion batteries. However, the development of polyaniline still remains significant challenges. For example, nowadays, it is not easy to effectively improve the electrochemical performance of ions batteries and promote its application. Herein, we introduce the structure, synthesis and properties of polyaniline firstly, then we summarize the recent advances and applications of PANI based hybrid materials in anodes for lithium-ion batteries. Special attentions were given on the following items: carbon-polyaniline composite, silicon-polyaniline composite, and metal oxides-polyaniline composite. The superior chemical nature of polyaniline enables it is promising to use as advanced anode material for Lithium-ion batteries.
