    Ultra-thick electrodes (UTEs) hold great promise for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), yet the practical application is hindered by challenges in precise fabrication and reaction kinetics modification. In this contribution, a solvent-free processing method is introduced to tailor UTEs through layer-by-layer fabrication. Detailed mechanistic simulations reveal that the multi-center reaction pathways enabled by enhanced ionic accessibility in N-UTEs significantly improve reaction kinetics. This work offers new insights into the gradient porosity tailoring for high-areal-capacity and high-rate UTEs for the next generation LIBs.
