1. A fluoride shuttle battery comprising:
a cathode comprising a metal nanostructure core including at least one dimension that is less than or equal to 20 nm, and a shell at least partially surrounding the metal nanostructure core;
an anode; and
a liquid electrolyte containing fluoride ions,
wherein the metal nanostructure core consists of a first material, the first material comprising a first metal,
wherein the shell consists of a shell material that is different from the first material, and
wherein the shell material comprises La1-xBaxF3-x, wherein X=0−0.5.
