So far, it has not yet reached an agreement that (111) surfaces or (100) surfaces are more positive to electrochemical performance in the spinet system. Herein, we present the synthesis of regular truncated octahedral high-voltage spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 single crystals with preferred growth of (100) surfaces, which incredibly exhibit the best long-term cycling stability compared with the state-of-art spine! material. The capacity retention is about 90% after 2000 cycles at 1 C. The extraordinary performance is mostly attributed to the highly regular truncated octahedral microstructure with large portions of stable (100) facets, which can stabilize the spinel structure to effectively suppress the side reactions with the electrolyte at high operating voltage and are also orientated to support Li+ transport kinetics. Therefore, our work further promotes the practical application of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode material in next generation Lithium-ion batteries with high energy density and power performance.
