Hydrothermal Synthesis of MnV₂O₆ Nanorods as an Anode Material for Lithium-ion Batteries

Abstract

The MnV2O6 nanorods anode materials was prepared by a simple hydrothermal method, MnCl2·2H2O and NH4VO3 as raw stuffs. The MnV2O6 nanorods anode materials were tested by SEM, XRD, and galvanostatic charge/discharge profile measurement. Time-dependent experiments were designed to examine the morphology evolution of the MnV2O6 nanorods anode materials. As an anode material, the MnV2O6 nanorods showed the good discharge capacity (403 mAh g−1 of 100th). The good electrochemical performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect with Mn and V elements, and fast lithium ion diffusion of the 1D nanorods structure.
