Traditional polycrystalline P2 layered oxides face challenges such as irreversible phase transitions, poor air stability, and structural distortion, which negatively impact their electrochemical performance. In this study, a single-crystal material, P2-Na_2/3Ni_1/4Mn_2/3Mg_1/12O₂ (SC-NMM), was synthesized using co-precipitation coupled with the molten salt method. Owing to the strong integrity and high thermal stability of the main {001} planes of the large-sized single crystal, SC-NMM exhibits a high reversible specific capacity (173.5 mAh/g at 20 mA/g) and stable cycle performance (93.38% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 100 mA/g) at high voltage. Additionally, the Na-ion full cell constructed with the SC-NMM cathode and hard carbon anode demonstrates a cathode energy density of 397.4 Wh/kg. The excellent electrochemical performance of SC-NMM originates from the reversible anion redox and single-phase solid solution reaction mechanism. This work provides a reference for synthesizing single-crystal layered transition metal oxides with high electrochemical performance by eliminating irreversible phase transitions through crystal orientation modulation.
