The traditional anode in a LIB is graphite. During the charging process, Lithium ions get intercalated into the interlayers of graphite. An electron is sourced from the external circuit to convert the Li + ions into elemental Lithium which then gets intercalated. During the discharging process, the Lithium in the atomic state loses an electron to get converted to Li + ions. Thus, getting deintercalated from the Graphitic layers. This motion of Li + ions between the cathode and anode leads to LIB being called a rocking chair battery or shuttle cock battery. Copper is used as the current collector for the anode . Graphite , Lithium-Titanium-Oxide (LTO) and Silicon are the major commercial anode materials for Li-ion batteries.
