Advances in cathode material design and understanding of intercalation mechanisms are necessary to improve the overall performance of aluminum ion batteries. Therefore, we designed ZnSe/SnSe2 hollow microcubes with heterojunction structure as a cathode material for aluminum ion batteries. ZnSe/ SnSe2 hollow microcubes with an average size of about 1.4 lm were prepared by selenization of ZnSn (OH)6 microcubes successfully. The shell thickness of ZnSe/SnSe2 hollow microcubes is about 250 nm. On one hand, the hollow cubic structure can effectively alleviate the volume effect, provide shorter ion ...
