Exploring the electrochemical performance of layered BiSe hexagonal platelets as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

The escalating need for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), driven by their expanding range of applications in our daily lives, has led to a surge in interest in metal selenides as potential anode materials. Among them, BiSe stands out as a promising anode material for LIBs due to its unique layered structure. Herein, we explored hexagonally structured layered BiSe platelets synthesized using the solvothermal method.

TlSnF, a SnF-based solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability for all-solid-state fluoride ion batteries.

Fluoride-ion batteries (FIBs) offer better theoretical energy densities and temperature stability, making them suitable alternatives to expensive Li-ion batteries. Major studies on FIBs operating at room temperature focus mainly on MSnF (M: Ba and Pb) solid electrolytes due to their favourable ionic conductivity values. PbSnF is the best fluoride ionic conductor known to date.

Structural diversity among K-antigens and its implication in the serotyping.

is an emerging opportunistic pathogen. It exhibits multi-, extreme-, and pan-drug resistance against several classes of antibiotics. Capsular polysaccharide (CPS or K-antigen) is one of the major virulence factors which aids in evading the host immune system.

Enhanced Electrochemical Performance of the NaV(PO)/C Cathode Material upon Doping with Mn/Fe for Na-Ion Batteries.

Research studies on Na-ion batteries (NIBs) are receiving significant scientific and commercial attention recently owing to the availability of low-cost, safe, and abundant materials in comparison to the conventional Li-ion batteries. The cathode material in a battery plays a crucial role in determining its cell capacity and cycle life. NASICON-based NaV(PO), NVP, is known to be a favorable cathode material for NIBs due to its structural stability with high Na-ion mobility.

Monitor to innovate with feedback loops: process evaluation protocol for an anemia prevention intervention.

Digital process monitoring and evaluation tools designed to capture near-to-real-time intervention data paired with feedback loops have the potential to innovate intervention delivery. To describe how a multilevel social norms field trial (RANI) is using feedback loops to enhance intervention delivery. We use a mixed-methods process evaluation design to monitor the Reduction of Anemia through Normative Innovations (RANI) project; a three-year randomized control trial which aims to lower rates of anemia among women in Odisha, India.
