Epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) play a crucial role in Na reabsorption in mammals. To date, four subunits have been identified-α, β, γ, and δ-believed to form different heteromeric complexes. Currently, only the structure of the αβγ complex is known.

The vast structural diversity of organic compounds provides a virtually unlimited design space; however, exploring this space through Edisonian trial-and-error approaches is costly and time-consuming. In this work, we develop a new framework, SPARKLE, that combines computational chemistry, molecular generation, and machine learning to achieve zero-shot predictions of OEMs that simultaneously balance reward (specific energy), risk (solubility), and cost (synthesizability).

- Tetrabutylammonium (TBA) salt of hexacyano-substituted cyclopropane dianion (Cp(CN) ) is developed using a simple two-step method and shows promise as a high-voltage n-type organic cathode for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs).
- Adding tetrabutylammonium triflate (TBAOTf) to the electrolyte helps reduce dissolution problems, improving the battery's cycling stability.
- The Cp(CN) cathode achieves a high discharge voltage of 1.43 V and maintains 85% capacity after 1000 cycles, demonstrating its potential effectiveness in energy storage applications through a reversible two-electron redox process.
