Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides are promising anode materials for Na ion batteries (NIBs). In this study, we carried out a comprehensive investigation to analyze the structural, electrochemical characteristics, and diffusion kinetics of bulk WX(X = Se, Te) by employing first-principles calculation in the framework of density functional theory. We deeply studied the full intercalation of Nain WXand diagnosed NaX phase through conversion reaction mechanism. The voltage range of 2.05-0.48 V vs Na/Nafor NaWSeand 2.26-0.65 V for NaWTe(= 0-3) have been noted. Density of states analysis showed metallic behavior of WX(X = Se, Te) during sodiation. The facile pathways for Namobility through WXhave shown that tungsten dichalcogenides are inferred as excellent electrode material for NIBs.

Glasses, which date back to about 2500 BC, originated in Mesopotamia and were later brought to Egypt in approximately 1450 BC. In contrast to the long-range order materials (crystalline materials), the atoms and molecules of glasses, which are noncrystalline materials (short-range order) are not organized in a definite lattice pattern. Metallic glassy materials with amorphous structure, which are rather new members of the advanced materials family, were discovered in 1960.

Metallic glassy alloys with their short-range order have received considerable attention since their discovery in 1960's. The worldwide interest in metallic glassy alloys is attributed to their unique mechanical, physical, and chemical properties, which cannot be found together in long-range order alloys of the same compositions. Traditional preparation methods of metallic glasses, such as rapid solidification of melts, always restrict the formation of glassy alloys with large atomic fraction (above 3-5 at%) of high melting point metals (Ta, Mo, W).
