Increasing the density and thickness of electrodes is required to maximize the volumetric energy density of lithium-ion batteries for practical applications. However, dense and thick electrodes, especially highmass-content (>50 wt%) silicon anodes, have poor mechanical stability due to the presence of a large number of unstable interfaces between the silicon and conducting components during cycling. Here we report a network of mechanically robust carbon cages produced by the capillary shrinkage of graphene hydrogels that can contain the silicon nanoparticles in the cages and stabilize the silicon/carbon interfaces. In situ transmission electron microscope characterizations including compression and tearing of the structure and lithiation-induced silicon expansion experiments, have provided insight into the excellent confinement and buffering ability of this interface-strengthened graphene-caged silicon nanoparticle anode material. Consequently, a dense and thick silicon anode with reduced thickness fluctuations has been shown to deliver both high volumetric (>1000 mAh cm(-3)) and areal (>6 mAh cm(-2)) capacities together with excellent cycling capability.
