The preparation and electrochemical storage behavior of hierarchical MoSe 2 /reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites were studied. The preparation was achieved by af acile hydrothermal route. The resultss how that MoSe 2 has ah ighc apacity for lithium ion ands odium ion storagea nd that the incorporation of rGO has further improved the electrochemical property of MoSe 2 effectively.A sa node materials for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, the MoSe 2 /rGO composites demonstrate excellent rate performance andc ycling stability of 917 mA hg À1 after 100 cycles for Li + storage and 430 mA hg À1 after 200 cycles for Na + storage at ac urrent density of 0.5 Ag À1 ,w hich is attributed to the robust hierarchical structure and the synergistic effectsb etween MoSe 2 nanosheets andrGO. Therefore, the electrochemical evaluations suggest that the obtained hierarchical structure MoSe 2 / rGO composites hold great potential as anode materials for lithium-ion ands odium-ion batteries.Considerable attention has focusedo nf undamentalr esearch and technological applications of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)d ue to their unique crystal structures and varieties of materialp roperties.[1] In TMDs, the metals and chalcogens which are bonded by strong covalent bonding form the molecular layers,a nd the individual layersa re further stacked together via weak van der Waals interactions. The unique graphene-like layered structures, which allow for the insertion and extractiono favariety of guest speciesb etween the layers, give TMDs significant advantages in the field of reversible energy storage, especially in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs).[2] In addition, the relatively low operation voltage and high theoretical capacities of TMDs also give them potentiala se lectrode materials in LIBs and SIBs.
