Abstract
Abstract Phase engineering is an effective strategy for modulating the electronic structure and electron transfer mobility of cobalt selenide (CoSe 2 ) with remarkable sodium storage. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to improve fast‐charging and cycling performance. Herein, a heterointerface coupling induces phase transformation from cubic CoSe 2 to orthorhombic CoSe 2 accompanied by the formation of MoSe 2 to construct a CoSe 2 /MoSe 2 heterostructure decorated with N‐doped carbon layer on a 3D graphene foam (CoSe 2 /MoSe 2 @NC/GF). The incorporated Mo cations in the bridged o‐CoSe 2 /MoSe 2 not only act an electron donor to regulate charge‐spin configurations with more active electronic states but also trigger the upshift of d/p band centers and a decreased ∆ d‐p band center gap, which greatly enhances ion adsorption capability and lowers the ion diffusion barrier. As expected, the CoSe 2 /MoSe 2 @NC/GF anode demonstrates a high‐rate capability of 447 mAh g −1 at 2 A g −1 and an excellent cyclability of 298 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 over 1000 cycles. The work deepens the understanding of the elaborate construction of heterostructured electrodes for high‐performance SIBs.
