2 D Manganese Vanadate Nanoflakes as High‐Performance Anode for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Abstract Nanometer‐sized flakes of MnV 2 O 6 were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. No surfactant, expensive metal salt, or alkali reagent was used. These MnV 2 O 6 nanoflakes present a high discharge capacity of 768 mA h g −1 at 200 mA g −1 , good rate capacity, and excellent cycling stability. Further investigation demonstrates that the nanoflake structure and the specific crystal structure make the prepared MnV 2 O 6 a suitable material for lithium‐ion batteries.
