The affordable and high-capacity aluminum-ion batteries
(AIBs)
are potential candidates for energy-storage systems. Nevertheless,
traditional transition-metal chalcogenide (TMC) cathodes encounter
severe capacity decay and sluggish reaction kinetics, impeding the
development of AIBs. Herein, we have prepared the heterostructured
FeSe2/MoS2 nanoflowers as the cathodes for AIBs.
The construction of the built-in electric field in the interface of
two phases plays an important role in realizing rapid charge transport,
stable structure, and increased reversible capacity. As a result,
the heterostructured FeSe2/MoS2 nanoflowers
cathodes deliver an outstanding discharge capacity of 222 mAh g–1 at 0.5 A g–1 and an excellent cycling
stability of 116 mAh g–1 over 140 cycles at 1.0
A g–1. These works provide a versatile strategy
for further boosting the electrochemical performance of AIBs.
