Abstract
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have become a highly desirable energy storage technology due to their significant advantages, such as low cost and high safety; however, the limitation of cathode materials has become a major factor restricting the development of ZIBs. Here, molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) nanoflakes were investigated for the first time as a novel cathode for ZIBs. The unique two-dimensional (2D) layered structure of MoSe2 provides convenient channels and multiple active sites for zinc (Zn) ion diffusion. MoSe2 showed a specific capacity of 30.1 mA h/g at 0.1 A/g as well as almost no capacity decay at 1.0 A/g after 1500 cycles. Further, the Zn–MoSe2 coin cell successfully excited a light-emitting diode, showing good application prospects. Moreover, there was almost no aging of the battery after cycling, thus indicating satisfactory application potential. This work broadens the application of 2D materials in ZIBs.
期刊介绍:
AIP Advances is an open access journal publishing in all areas of physical sciences—applied, theoretical, and experimental. All published articles are freely available to read, download, and share. The journal prides itself on the belief that all good science is important and relevant. Our inclusive scope and publication standards make it an essential outlet for scientists in the physical sciences.
AIP Advances is a community-based journal, with a fast production cycle. The quick publication process and open-access model allows us to quickly distribute new scientific concepts. Our Editors, assisted by peer review, determine whether a manuscript is technically correct and original. After publication, the readership evaluates whether a manuscript is timely, relevant, or significant.
