Advanced MoSe2/Carbon Electrodes in Li/Na-Ions Batteries

Secondary charge batteries have captured numerous attentions, owing to their abundant raw, portability, and high energy density. As the main ions-storage carrier, the electrode materials serve vital roles on the properties of whole battery system. Currently, MoSe2 is regarded as rising star of transition metal dichalcogenides, displaying unique layered structure, high electronic conductivity, as well as narrow energy band. These advantages enable their widely application on hydrogen evolution reactions and solar cells. Recently, a plenty of researching activities on MoSe2/carbon are triggered due to large interplanar spacing and high ions/e(-) migration rate. In this review, the recent achievements of diverse MoSe2/carbon on great energy-storage domains are solidly summarized from bonding types (surface-loading, internal-wrapped) and dimensional controlling (1D nanotubes/nanofibers, 2D graphene/nanosheets, 3D carbon framework/sphere). Meanwhile, the related Li/Na ions-storage mechanisms are also concluded. Furthermore, for MoSe2/carbon with better electrochemical properties, the opportunities and perspectives in the future are also suggested. This review throws light on the systematic developments of advanced MoSe2/carbon, and confirms its exploring potential on lithium-ion batteries/sodium-ion batteries.
