Our research paper titled RedPred, a machine learning model for the prediction of redox reaction energies of the aqueous organic electrolytes is published in Artificial Intelligence Chemistry. In this study, we present RedPred, an ML model that predicts the redox reaction energies of molecules. RedPred comprises an ensemble of Artificial Neural Networks, Random Forests, and Graph Convolutional Networks, trained using the RedDB database. In addition, we released a user-friendly web tool with open-source code to promote software sustainability and broad use.

Our manuscript titled Discovery of lead quinone cathode materials for Li-ion batteries has been published in Digital Discovery from the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). In this study, we applied machine learning and semi-empirical quantum mechanical methods to study a chemical space of approximately 200,000 compounds for use as cathode materials in Li-ion batteries. Additionally, by performing an automated search on a commercial vendor database, computing battery-relevant properties, and evaluating the structural integrity upon the lithiation process, a total of 349 molecules were identified as potentially high-performing cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. Furthermore, one example of a candidate compound was tested through cyclic voltammetry experiments, which showed highly promising results.

Our manuscript titled Virtual Screening of Organic Quinones as Cathode Materials for Sodium-Ion Batteries has been published in Energy Advances from the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). In this study, we applied a DFT-empowered high-throughput virtual screening study that reckoned with the most essential battery-relevant properties of 448,658 molecules. Among them, we identified 17 highly promising compounds for validation as candidate cathode materials in sodium-ion batteries, which are seen as alternatives to lithium-ion batteries because of the natural abundance, low cost, and high safety of sodium when compared to lithium.
