1. An electrode material comprising a film of a metallic material as electrochemically active material, and a compound of any one of Formulae I to IV:
![]() wherein,
R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, and R8 are each independently selected from a hydrogen atom, a group selected from halogen, optionally halogenated alkyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl, CN, —NO2, —SO2OM2, —OP(O)(OM2)2, —P(O)(OM2)2, or —C(O)OM2, wherein M2 is a cation of an alkali or alkaline earth metal, or a —OC(O)alkyl, —SO2NH2, —SO2NHalkyl, or —SO2N(alkyl)2 group;
R10 is a hydrogen atom or a carbohydrate, wherein the carbohydrate is a natural or synthetic mono or disaccharide, oligo or polysaccharides;
X1 is, independently in each occurrence, selected from O, S, NH, NR9, and PH, wherein R9 is selected from natural or synthetic carbohydrate and an amine protective group; and
i. a, c and e are single bonds, b and d are double bonds, X2 is O, and M1 is H or a cation of an alkali or alkaline earth metal ion forming a salt with X2 wherein the ratio of cation to the rest of the compound of Formula I, II, or III provides electroneutrality; or
ii. a, c and e are double bonds, b and d are single bonds, X2 is O or NOH(oxime), and M1 is absent;
a geometric isomer of a compound of Formula I, II or III, or a tautomer, oxidized form or salt of a compound of Formula IV;
or a carbohydrate complex or conjugate thereof; and
wherein the metallic material is selected from an alkali or alkaline earth metal, and alloys thereof where the alkali or alkaline earth metal is the major component.
