Abstract
Manganese vanadate (Mn2V2O7) nanosheets on titanium (Ti) foil are synthesized by a cation-exchange method using sodium vanadate nanowires as the precursor. By varying the cation-exchange time in manganese acetate (Mn(CH3COO)2) aqueous solution, the tunable morphologies and chemical components of the samples are tested, compared and presented in detail. The evolution process contains cation-exchange of Mn2+ and Na+, newly generated H+ to dissolve vanadate, and precipitation manganese vanadate nanosheets on the original sodium vanadate nanowire surface. Furthermore, the thermal and crystal properties of the as-prepared nanosheets are evaluated by calcinations at different temperatures. The Mn2V2O7 nanosheets obtained at 250 °C, which are used as electrode of lithium-ion battery, have the first discharge capacity of 1048.0 mAh g−1 at 50 mA g−1. After 100 cycles, the residual capacity is more than 800 mAh g−1.
