Sodium-tellurium　Na-Te　battery,　thanks　to　high　theoretical　capacity　and　abundant　sodium　source,　has　been　envisaged　as　one　promising　battery　technology,　its　practical　application　yet　faces　daunting　challenges　regarding　how　to　mitigate　the　critical　issues　of　uncontrollable　dendrites　growth　at　Na　anode　and　polytellurides　shuttling　effect　at　Te　cathode.　We　here　report　an　elaborative　design　for　fabrication　of　microsphere　skeleton　nanohybrids　with　three-dimensional　(3D)　hierarchical　porous　carbon　loading　CeO2　quantum　dots　(CeO2-QDs/HPC),　which　feature　highly　favorable　properties　of　sodiophilic　and　catalysis　for　hosting　sodium　and　tellurium,　respectively.　The　systematic　investigations　coupling　with　first-principle　calculations　demonstrate　the　CeO2-QDs/HPC　not　only　offers　favorable　structure　and　abundant　electrocatalytic　sites　for　facilitating　interconversion　between　Te　and　NaxTe　as　a　cathode　host,　but　also　can　function　as　dendrite　inhibitor　anode　host　for　reversible　sodium　electro-plating/deposition.　Such　Na-Te　battery　exhibits　admiring　electrochemical　performance　with　an　impressive　specific　capacity　of　392　mAh　g(-1),　a　long　cycling　stability　over　1000　cycles,　as　well　as　remarkably　high　energy　density　of　192　Wh　kg(-1)　based　on　the　total　mass　of　anode　and　cathode.　Such　proof-of-concept　bifunctional　host　design　for　active　electrode　materials　can　render　a　new　insight　and　direction　to　the　development　of　high-performance　Na-Te　batteries.
