Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have been considered as a promising alternative to lithium ion batteries, owing to the abundant reserve and low-cost accessibility of the sodium source. To date, the pursuit of high-performance anode materials remains a great challenge for the SIBs. In this work, carbon-stabilized interlayer-expanded few-layer MoSe<sub>2sub> nanosheets (MoSe<sub>2sub>@C) have been fabricated by an oleic acid (OA) functionalized synthesis–polydopamine (PDA) stabilization–carbonization strategy, and their structural, morphological, and electrochemical properties have been carefully characterized and compared with the carbon-free MoSe<sub>2sub>. When evaluated as anode for sodium ion half batteries, the MoSe<sub>2sub>@C exhibits a remarkably enhanced rate capability of 367 mA h g<sup>–1sup> at 5 A g<sup>–1sup>, a high reversible discharge capacity of 445 mA h g<sup>–1sup> at 1 A g<sup>–1sup>, and a long-term cycling stability over 100 cycles. To further explore the potential applications, the MoSe<sub>2sub>@C is assembled into sodium ion full batteries with Na<sub>3sub>V<sub>2sub>(PO<sub>4sub>)<sub>3sub> (NVP) as cathode materials, showing an impressively high reversible capacity of 421 mA h g<sup>–1sup> at 0.2 A g<sup>–1sup> after 100 cycles. Such results are primarily attributed to the unique carbon-stabilized interlayer-expanded few-layer MoSe<sub>2sub> nanosheets structure, which facilitates the permeation of electrolyte into the inner of MoSe<sub>2sub> nanosheets, promoting charge transfer efficiency among MoSe<sub>2sub> nanosheets, and accommodating the volume change from discharge–charge cycling.
