Abstract

Electrochemical devices, and associated materials and methods, are generally described. In some embodiments, an electrochemical device comprises an electroactive material. The electroactive material may comprise an alloy having a solid phase and a liquid phase that co-exist with each other. As a result, such a composite electrode may have, in some cases, the mechanical softness to permit both high energy densities and an improved current density as compared to, for example, a substantially pure metal electrode.
