platelets synthesized using the solvothermal method. The electrochemical performance of these platelets in LIBs was thoroughly examined, revealing an impressive initial discharge specific capacity of 556 mA h g
at a current density of 100 mA g
and a coulombic efficiency of 66.5%. Improved cycling stability, rate performance, and discharge voltage profile at various current densities were observed. The plateaus observed during the charge/discharge profile were clearly illustrated by the CV results. The reaction kinetics indicated that both ion diffusion and pseudo-capacitance behavior are crucial for the observed high electrochemical performance. Moreover, the hexagonal Bi
Se
platelets exhibited a high ion-diffusion coefficient of 1.8 × 10
cm
s
and a charge transfer impedance of 23 Ω post-cycling. Furthermore, the crystal structure, lattice vibrational bonding, and surface morphology of Bi
Se
were explored using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. FTIR spectroscopy was utilized for identifying the functional groups, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to identify the elemental composition and oxidation states of Bi
