Abstract

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are expected to be an effective solution for energy storage to be applied to various electronic devices due to their cost-effective performance and similar working principles to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the electrochemical performances of SIBs are currently hindered by the challenges posed by the large size and slow diffusion kinetics of Na+. Chalcogenide heterojunctions have great potential in SIBs anode materials. Therefore, this study presents a MoSSe heterojunction with a three-dimensional flower-like spherical structure. This heterojunction exhibits enhanced Na+ adsorption and storage capabilities, a high rate of Na+ diffusion, and improved structural stability. These excellent structures and characteristics are highly beneficial for Na+ storage, demonstrating superior stability, and large capacity. Consequently, the designed MoSSe exhibits long cycling stability at 5.0 A g−1 (195.2 mAh g−1 after 2000 cycles) and exceptional capacity at 0.1 A g−1 (413.1 mAh g−1). This work demonstrates that heterojunctions can become excellent electrode materials for SIBs to achieve stable sodium energy storage.
