Abstract
Constructing a valid heterointerface with a built-in electric field is an effective strategy for designing energy storage anodes with exceptional efficiency for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). In this study, WSe2/MoSe2 nanosheets with a better-matched and stable heterojunction interface were uniformly embedded in carbon nanofiber frameworks (WSe2/MoSe2/CNFs). The ion/electron transfer kinetics were facilitated by heterointerfaces with an enlarged effective utilization range. Meanwhile, the heterointerface directed electron transfer from MoSe2 to WSe2 and had significant potassium adsorption capability. The ultra-high pseudocapacitance contribution originating from the heterostructure and morphological features of the WSe2/MoSe2 nanosheets contributed to enhancing high-rate energy storage. Moreover, in situ X-ray diffraction and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the potassification/depotassification behavior of the WSe2/MoSe2/CNFs during the conversion reaction. Consequently, after 500 cycles at 5 A·g−1, the WSe2/MoSe2/CNF anode demonstrated an outstanding long-term cycling performance of 125.6 mAh·g−1 for PIBs. While serving as a SIB electrode, it exhibited an exceptional rate capability of 243.5 mAh·g−1 at 20 A·g−1. With the goal of developing high-performance PIB/SIB electrode materials, the proposed strategy, based on heterointerface adaptation engineering, is promising.
