A single-crystal truncated octahedral morphology LiZn_0.08Al_0.01Mn_1.91O₄ cathode material with {111}, {110}, and {100} crystal surfaces was synthesized by a solid-state combustion method. The results show that Zn-Al co-doped promotes the crystal development and the selective growth of crystal surfaces of spinel LiMn₂O₄ materials, while forming single-crystal truncated octahedral grain. The Zn-Al co-doped sample effectively inhibits the JahnTeller effect and reduces Mn dissolution, thus enhancing the crystal structure stability and significantly improving the electrochemical performance. The initial discharge specific capacity of LiZn_0.08Al_0.01Mn_1.91O₄ were 92.6 and 76.5 mAh·g^-1 at 5C and 10C, the corresponding capacity retention remained 70.4% and 74.8% after 2 000 cycles, respectively. Even at a high current density of 15C, the initial discharge capacity was still 64.2 mAh·g^-1, and the capacity retention can reach 82.2% after 800th cycles. Compared with LiZn_0.08Mn_1.92O₄, the LiZn_0.08Al_0.01Mn_1.91O₄ cathode material had a larger Li⁺ diffusion coefficient (1.02×10^-11 cm²·s^-1) and smaller apparent activation energy (25.60kJ mol^-1). The results show that the Zn-Al co-doped and monocrystalline morphology control strategy can reduce the energy barrier of Li⁺ during the de-intercalation process and increase the diffusion rate in electrode materials.
