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.

Coated semiconductor particles and methods of making the same

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.

Magnesium metal devices and methods of making the same

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 MgBparticles, where x&#x2265;1, mixed with a conductive additive and a binder additive to form empty interstitial spaces between the MgBparticles, the conductive additive, and the binder additive. The MgBparticles 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.
