title: 2 D manganese vanadate nanoflakes as high-performance anode for lithium-ion batteries.
abstract: Nanometer-sized flakes of MnV2O6 were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. No surfactant, expensive metal salt, or alkali reagent was used. These MnV2O6 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 MnV2O6 a suitable material for lithium-ion batteries.
