Abstract Most of the reported MoSe2 electrode materials are suffered from tended stacking, large volume expansion and relatively low capacity. As shown the experiences of Li/Na-Se batteries, the encapsulating of the exfoliated MoSe2 into carbon nanospheres are successfully constructed with the introduction of C-O-Mo bonds and larger layer distance (0.89 nm). Interestingly, the C-O-Mo bonds stayed on the surface of the Se-O insulation layer can improve the rate of ions transfer and also promote the reversible conversion of MoSe2. The first-principles calculations demonstrated that the frontier molecular orbitals of C-O-Mo interface structure are mainly localized on the MoSe2 sheet fragment with an appropriate HOMO-LUMO gap (
