Graphical abstract: - Highlights: • Effect of CTAB on the morphology and crystallization of MnFe{sub 2}O{sub 4}. • The lowest coercivity of MnFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} polyhedron is 11.9 Oe. • MnFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} as anode for LIB shows good reversible capacity and cycle performances. - Abstract: The uniform different morphologies MnFe{sub 2}O{sub 4}, including cube, truncated cube, polyhedron and octahedron, were successfully synthesized via a solvothermal route using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The results of control experiments revealed that the concentration of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide was an important factor, which affected the morphology and crystallization of MnFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} submicro-crystals. All the prepared samples exhibited soft-magnetic behavior at room temperature. Especially, the coercivity of MnFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} polyhedron with 200 nm diameter was 11.9 Oe, which was among the lowest values reported so far. Moreover, MnFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} submicro-crystals with special morphologies demonstrated higher reversible capacity (about 1000 mAh g{sup −1}) and different cycle performances. After 50 cycles, polyhedron structure remained 428 mAh/g. The MnFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} would have a potential application as anode material for lithium ion batteries.
