Preparation of MnV_2O_6 Nanoflakes via Simple Hydrothermal Process

Single-phase monoclinic MnV_2O_6 nanoflakes were prepared by the hydrothermal process at 180℃for 18h,using Mn(CH_3COO)_2·4H_2O and NH_4VO_3 as starting materials,and acetic acid was used to adjust the pH value of the reaction solution.The as-prepared samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope(FESEM),and transmission electron microscope(TEM),X- ray photoelectron spectrum measurements,and the component of MnV_2O_6 was confirmed.The result indicates that the products consist of a large quantity of compact accumulated nanoflakes,with average width of 0.85μm,thickness of 100nm and length up to 1.7μm.
