•The sandwiched structure of Si/Ti3C2 hybrid release the strain of Si particles.•The Ti3C2 layers can effectively alleviate volume variation of Si anode.•The Si/Ti3C2 hybrid shows improved cycling performance than pristine Si. The practical application of Si anodes is hampered by huge volume expansi...
