Abstract

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered as potential substitute in large-scale energy storage systems due to the abundant natural resources and low price of sodium, and environmental friendliness. However, commercial graphite anode in lithium-ion batteries cannot be directly applied to SIBs. Bimetallic selenides stand out among the many anode materials owing to their rich redox chemistry and superior conductivities. Here, a bimetallic selenide Cu3VSe4is successfully prepared via one-pot reaction in oil phase, and its energy storage performance for SIBs is investigated. It delivers an impressive capacity, excellent rate performance (298 mAh g−1at 10 A g−1), and outstanding long-term cycling life (305 mAh g−1over 1000 cycles at 2.0 A g−1). In addition, the Na+storage mechanism (including intercalation and conversion reactions) is revealed. This work provides a new way for the application of the Cu3VSe4in SIBs.Graphical abstractA bimetallic selenide Cu3VSe4is successfully prepared via one-pot reaction in oil phase.
