Bimetallic　transition-metal　selenides　have　emerged　as　promising　anode　materials　for　lithium-ion　batteries　(LIBs).　However,　they　suffer　from　rapid　capacity　fading　which　is　originated　from　significant　chemical　and　mechanical　degradation　during　lithiation/delithiation　processes.　Herein,　nitrogen-doped　graphene　aerogel　(NGA)　with　high　porosity　is　prepared　via　a　templated　method　and　serves　as　the　matrix　for　the　uniform　growth　of　sheet-like　binary　transition-metal　selenides　(MoSe2–CoSe2).　The　porous　NGA　with　high　specific　surface　area　provides　a　stable　and　conductive　network,　which　can　accelerate　electron　transmission　and　shorten　the　diffusion　distance　of　Li　ions.　Furthermore,　the　MoSe2–CoSe2　nanosheets　can　offer　adequate　specific　capacity　because　of　its　high　accessibility　and　multiple　redox　properties.　As　a　result,　the　MoSe2–CoSe2/NGA-10　composite　delivers　high　Li-ion　storage　capacity　(1260　mAh　g−1　at　0.1　A　g−1),　excellent　rate　capability　(702　mAh　g−1　at　5　A　g−1),　and　stable　cycling　performance　(914　mAh　g−1　at　1　A　g−1　after　200　cycles),　demonstrating　its　great　potential　for　LIB　applications.　©　2019　Elsevier　B.V.
