A single phase of monoclinic MnV2O6 nanoflakes was prepared by a hydrothermal process at 180℃ starting materials and using acetic acid to adjust the pH value of the reaction solution. The as,prepared samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). X,ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) measurements further confirm the component of MnV2O6.Results indicated that the products consisted of a large quantity of compact accumulated nanoflakes,with average width of 0.85 μtm,thickness of 100 nm and lengths up to 1.7μm.
