Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electrode material that includes a solid core particle having an outer surface and including at least one of a Group II element, a Group III element, a Group IV element, a Group V element, and/or a Group VI element, and a layer including a polymer, where the solid core particle has a characteristic length between greater than zero nanometers and 1000 nm, the layer substantially covers all of the outer surface, the layer has a thickness between greater than zero nanometers 100 nm, and the layer is capable of elastically stretching as a result of expansion and contraction by the solid core.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device that includes a first electrode, where the first electrode includes magnesium metal having a first surface, and a first coating in physical contact with the first surface and covering substantially all of the first surface, where the first coating has a first thickness, and the first coating is configured to transport a plurality of magnesium ions through the first thickness, such that a first portion of the plurality of magnesium ions are reversibly depositable as elemental magnesium onto the first surface.

Abstract: An aspect of the present invention is an electrical device, where the device includes a current collector and a porous active layer electrically connected to the current collector to form an electrode. The porous active layer includes MgBx particles, where x?1, mixed with a conductive additive and a binder additive to form empty interstitial spaces between the MgBx particles, the conductive additive, and the binder additive. The MgBx particles include a plurality of boron sheets of boron atoms covalently bound together, with a plurality of magnesium atoms reversibly intercalated between the boron sheets and ionically bound to the boron atoms.
