Two-dimensional hybrid nanosheets of few layered MoSe2 on reduced graphene oxide as anodes for long-cycle-life lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

A rational design of two-dimensional (2D) hybrid materials between transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and graphene has received great attention because of their promising applications in the energy field. Herein, we report the synthesis of novel 2D hybrid nanosheets constructed by few layered MoSe₂ grown on reduced graphene oxide (rGO). As a proof-of-concept application, the 2D MoSe₂/rGO nanosheets exhibit excellent electrochemical performance as anodes for lithium ion batteries, demonstrating outstanding cycling stability (up to 1000 cycles), and high-rate capability.
