1. An electrochemical cell comprising:
an anode;
a cathode; and
an ion-permeable membrane disposed between the anode and the cathode;
wherein at least one of the anode or the cathode includes an electrode composition comprising solid ion storage compound particles in a liquid electrolyte; and
wherein the solid ion storage compound particles are capable of taking up or releasing ions and have a polydisperse size distribution in which the finest particles present in at least 5 vol % of the total volume, is at least a factor of 5 smaller than the largest particles present in at least 5 vol % of the total volume.
