Graphical Abstract

MoSe2/TiO2 heterostructure is integrated with N-doped carbon nanosheets to assemble into hierarchical flower-like porous core–shell microspheres, which is firstly reported by room-temperature stirring coupled with vulcanization treatment. The novel heterostructures of MoSe2/TiO2 not only enhance the utilization rate of electrode materials, but also facilitate electron transfer and accelerate reaction kinetics.

Abstract

Engineering the structure and composition of electrode materials is one of the essential means for achieving excellent electrochemical performance. The rational design of Na+ host materials is still a massive challenge for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, MoSe2/TiO2 heterostructure is integrated with N-doped carbon nanosheets to assemble into hierarchical flower-like porous core–shell microspheres (MoSe2/TiO2@N-C), which is firstly reported by room-temperature stirring coupled with vulcanization treatment. The cavity of the core–shell structure could provide enough storage space for Na+ and alleviate the volume expansion during charge/discharge processes. The apertures between nanosheets provide a guarantee for the rapid penetration of electrolyte to enhance the utilization rate of electrode materials. Furthermore, building heterostructures by combining different phase structures can facilitate electron transfer and accelerate reaction kinetics. Benefiting from the synergistic contributions of structure and composition, MoSe2/TiO2@N-C as SIBs anode material shows better reversible capacities of 302.5 mAh·g−1 at 1 A·g−1 for 400 cycles and 217.4 mAh·g−1 at 4 A·g−1 for 900 cycles. Strikingly, the reversible capacities can be restored entirely to the initial level after a high current density cycle.
