Abstract

Heterostructures exhibit intriguing and significant properties for functional material applications, such as photosensing devices, semiconductor materials, and supercapacitors. Rechargeable batteries as typical energy‐storage devices have drawn widespread attention in the past several decades, on account of high energy density, being low‐cost, and ecofriendly. Preparing superior active materials is the critical technology to ameliorate the electrochemical performance of batteries. In recent years, the concept of constructing heterostructures for the application of electrode materials has been considered as a promising design approach. Among all the electrode materials, metal chalcogenides (MCs) have presented excellent properties due to their high theoretical capacity based on multielectron reaction. Herein, the progress on MCs with heterostructures is summarized in terms of various material species and their specific application for several typical battery systems. Finally, possible challenges and comprehensive perspectives are given to provide an instructive direction for the thoughtful design strategies of heterostructures and the development of MCs for next‐generations rechargeable batteries.
