    Abstract: Provided herein are composite materials for use in an electrical energy storage system (e.g., a high-capacity battery) and methods for preparing the same. The composite materials provided herein are also useful as substrates for chemical vapor deposition of silicon. The composite materials of the present disclosure include a three-dimensional carbon network and optional silicon particles. The composite materials further include mega pores, at least some of which are formed by carbonizing sacrificial particles dispersed throughout a three-dimensional network. The mega pores advantageously provide a space to accommodate the strain and stress in the electrode structure due to volume changes of silicon (particles) during charge and discharge of the electrical energy storage system.
