1. A method of manufacturing a solvated metal particle-coating system, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a polar outer-sphere electron transferring solvent;
providing a metal additive;
providing at least one of a metal particle and a metalloid particle;
dissolving the metal additive within the polar outer-sphere electron transferring solvent utilizing an electrolysis process;
coating the metal additive solvated in the polar outer-sphere electron transferring solvent over the at least one of the metal particle and the metalloid particle; and
evaporating the polar outer-sphere electron transferring solvent from the solvated metal additive, thus leaving the metal additive coated onto the at least one of the metal particle and the metalloid particle.
