ABSTRACTAqueous rechargeable batteries are attractive owing to their higher operational safety, high ionic conductivity, scalable and easy manufacturing. These aqueous batteries form an economic option for large-scale (grid) power storage. In the aqueous battery sector, Mn-based compounds are highly attractive with their non-toxic nature, low-cost, rich mineral chemistry and robust operational safety. Several Mn-based systems like LiMn2O4 spinel and LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 have seen successful commercialization. Pursuing Mn-based materials, we have shown layer structured Na2Mn3O7 as a versatile cathode material for non-aqueous systems like Li-, Na- and K-ion batteries. In the current work, we have exploited Na2Mn3O7 as a cathode material for aqueous Zn-ion battery for the first time. This Na-Mn-O ternary system was prepared using two-step emulsion-based synthesis. The phase-pure Na2Mn3O7 was formed in a triclinic structure with a space group of P-1. It exhibited versatile electrochemical insertion of different ions like Li-, Na- and K-ions involving phase transition. Na2Mn3O7 exhibited reversible Zn-ion intercalation delivering capacity of 245 mA h g-1 with a nominal voltage of 1.5 V. Upon discharge, it triggered phase transformation to an unknown phase. Layered Na2Mn3O7 oxide was found to act as an efficient cathode for Zn-ion batteries with good cycling stability.

Abstract Several emerging energy storage technologies and systems have been demonstrated that feature low cost, high rate capability, and durability for potential use in large-scale grid and high-power applications. Owing to its outstanding ion conductivity, ultrafast Na-ion insertion kinetics, excellent structural stability, and large theoretical capacity, the sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)-structured insertion material NaTi2(PO4)3 (NTP) has attracted considerable attention as the optimal electrode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and Na-ion hybrid capacitors (NHCs). On the basis of recent studies, NaTi2(PO4)3 has raised the rate capabilities, cycling stability, and mass loading of rechargeable SIBs and NHCs to commercially acceptable levels. In this comprehensive review, starting with the structures and electrochemical properties of NTP, we present recent progress in the application of NTP to SIBs, including non-aqueous batteries, aqueous batteries, aqueous batteries with desalination, and sodium-ion hybrid capacitors. After a thorough discussion of the unique NASICON structure of NTP, various strategies for improving the performance of NTP electrode have been presented and summarized in detail. Further, the major challenges and perspectives regarding the prospects for the use of NTP-based electrodes in energy storage systems have also been summarized to offer a guideline for further improving the performance of NTP-based electrodes.

Background: Knowledge of fetal weight in utero is vital for the obstetrician in deciding whether to deliver the fetusas well as in fixing the mode of delivery. Both low birth weight and excessive fetal weight at delivery are associated with increased risk of newborn complications during labor and the puerperium. During the last decade, estimated fetal weight has been incorporated into the standard routine antepartum evaluation of high-risk pregnancies and deliveries. Objective of present study was to assess the fetal weight in term pregnancies by Clinical and Sonographic and to compare the methods after knowing the actual weight of the baby after birth. Methods: It is a prospective and comparative study of 100 women at term pregnancy at Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of Madhubani Medical College and Hospital, Madhubani, Bihar from 20th March 2020 to 31st October 2020. Patients within 7 days from their Expected Date of Delivery were included in the study. The formulas used in this study are: Johnson's formula, Dare’s formula and Hadlock's formula using ultrasound. Results: Results vary in terms of accuracy with various methods employed for estimating the fetal weight. This studyshowed that Dare’s Formula was the best indicator among all other methods assessed followed by Hadlock's formula by ultrasonographic method. Conclusions: SFH measurement continues to be used in many countries on large scale because of its low cost, ease ofuse and need for little training as the setup for ultrasonographic evaluation is not readily available in rural setups.

The versatile property of the Keggin type POM is the multi-electron transfer that happens during the switching between [PMo10V2O40]5− to [PMo10V2O40]27−. This tunable behavior makes it unique, efficient material as a cathode for Na-ion batteries.

While the operating voltages of Ni-Zn batteries are smaller than Li-ion batteries, Ni-Zn batteries offer some advantages, such as high specific energy and low cost. Ni-Zn batteries use green materials as they use aqueous electrolytes and do not need hazardous organic solvents. Both Ni and Zn are abundant and much less expensive in comparison to lithium. Therefore, Ni-Zn batteries are more suitable as secondary batteries for applications that do not need mobility, such as for storing electricity from solar panels at home or office building. At present, large scale usage of Ni-Zn batteries is hindered by their low life cycle due to Zn anode degradation during the operation. The Zn anode deteriorates as dendrite and passivation growth causing self-discharge at the Zn anode. Many efforts have been tried to solve those problems by adding additives in the electrode or electrolyte and a specific binder in the Zn anode. In the present work, in addition to standard CMC and PTFE as the binder in Zn anode, we also added nano-cellulose as its binder agent as the host matrix may be formed with a much smaller void, providing much more dispersion of ZnO nanoparticles and better reduction on Zn dendrite formation. The battery structures in this work were Zn-anode | electrolytes (KOH, aqueous) | Ni-cathode. Ni cathode used in this work is similar to those found in commercial Ni-Zn batteries. The Zn anode was prepared with various compositions of binder and hydroxides, such as Ca(OH)2, and ZnO nanoparticles as the active materials. The characteristics of the batteries are largely affected by the composition of the binder and other substances forming the Zn anode, particularly the proportion of the hydroxide. However, in general, the present result shows the potential of this modified Ni-Zn battery as an alternative to supersede expensive Li-ion batteries for low-cost and stationary applications.
