    Abstract: Provided is encapsulated electroactive materials for use in rechargeable aqueous zinc cells, batteries, systems, and associated methods. A core-shell composite particle includes a core of electrochemically active material, and a shell of a polyelectrolyte matrix, substantially insoluble in water, yet allowing the transport of zinc cations to and from the electrochemically active core. A method for preparing the core-shell composite electrochemically active particle includes mechanically dispersing the electrochemically active material particles in association with the polyelectrolyte solution, insolubilizing the polyelectrolyte in the presence of the dispersed electrochemically active material particles, washing the encapsulated particles particle with water, and drying the washed encapsulated particles
