In this study, the double transition metal selenide Ni1.5CoSe5 with cube-like nanoaggregate morphology was successfully embedded into a three-dimensional (3D) dual N-doped carbon network, developing an advanced anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). In the prepared composite, Ni1.5CoSe5 nanoparticles were first coated by N-doped carbon (NC), which further aggregated to form nanocubes, and finally embedded into interconnected N-doped reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets; hence, the material was abbreviated as Ni1.5CoSe5@NC@rGO. It delivered a reversible Na-storage capacity of 582.5 mA h g(-1) at a low current density of 0.05 A g(-1) and exhibited ultra-fast rate properties (e.g., with the specific capacities of 180.8 and 96.3 mA h g(-1) at high current densities of 30 and 50 A g(-1), respectively). The much enhanced Na-storage properties were ascribed to the highly conductive 3D network constructed by dual N-doped carbonaceous materials, which acted not only as a highway for ultrafast charge transfer but also as an effective protector for the active Ni1.5CoSe5 material and cube-like nanoaggregates with nanometer-sized primary particles. More significantly, the Ni1.5CoSe5@NC@rGO electrode also exhibited superior energy storage performance in sodium-ion full cells when coupled with a high-voltage Na3V2(PO4)(2)O2F cathode, making it a promising anode material for practical SIBs.
