The nickel-rich cathode LiNi0.6Co0.1Mn0.3O2 (NCM613) is a promising cathode material but has poor cycle stability, especially at a high cutoff voltage. Aiming at modulating the unit cell parameters via heteroatom dopants while providing a lithium-ion conductor coating, in this work, boron-based-modified NCM613 has been synthesized with both LiBO2 coating and boron doping via a solid-state method. The optimal modified sample LBO-0.4 exhibits excellent cycle stability at room temperature (2.8–4.5 V) with a retention of 94.8% at 1 C after 100 cycles (versus 79.7% of the pristine sample LBO-0) and 70.7% at 5 C after 1000 cycles (versus a retention lower than 1% for LBO-0). The DLi+ values of LBO-0.4 are significantly higher than those of LBO-0, which is attributed to the enlarged crystal lattice volume generated by the incorporation of B3+ into NCM613. Combined with characterization by Ar sputtering-assisted XPS, TEM, XRD, etc., it is illustrated that LiBO2 coating and B3+ doping can synergistically enhance the electrochemical performance of the NCM613 at a high cutoff voltage, high temperature, and high rate. In addition, DFT calculations disclose that the boron dopant is preferential to locate in the interstice among three Ni atoms of the TM–O layer of NCM, which facilitates the formation of more amount Ni2+, leading to the improved electrochemical performance of NCM613. Such ion doping and surface coating strategy can provide useful guidance on the modification of other layered oxide cathode materials.

The dilution enthalpies of LiBO 2 (aq) from 0.0398 to 0.7684 mol·kg −1 and LiB 5 O 8 (aq) from 0.0521 to 0.8067 mol·kg −1 at 298.15 K and 101.325 kPa were investigated using the microcalorimeter BT 2.15. The apparent molar enthalpies on two lithium borates were obtained, and the diagrams of their apparent molar enthalpy against molality for LiBO 2 (aq) and LiB 5 O 8 (aq) were also plotted. Considering the constructers of BO 2 - and B 5 O 8 - in aqueous solution are existed as in [B(OH) 4 ]- and [B 5 O 6 (OH) 4 ]-, the Pitzer single-salt parameters ( β M X ( 0 ) L , β M X ( 1 ) L , β M X ( 2 ) L , C M X L ) for LiB(OH) 4 and LiB 5 O 6 (OH) 4 were obtained for the first time. A comparison between the calculated apparent molar enthalpies for LiBO 2 (aq) and LiB 5 O 8 (aq) based on Pitzer model and those determined experimentally agree well, which indicate that the Pitzer single parameters of LiB(OH) 4 and LiB 5 O 6 (OH) 4 obtained are reliable.

Ni-rich layered oxide material with high theoretical capacity and low cost is one of the most promising cathode candidates for high-energy-density lithium-ion battery. However, increase of Ni content triggers structural instability and fast capacity degradation, which severely impedes the practical application of Ni-rich materials. Here, a surface dual-modification layer of B 2 O 3 & LiBO 2 is introduced to Ni-rich material LiNi 0.89 Co 0.08 Mn 0.03 O 2 (NCM89), which successfully stabilizes the layered structure of NCM89 during cycling as well as removes residual lithium in NCM89. The in-situ X-ray diffraction and cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy results demonstrate effectively improved structural reversibility and stability of the cathode. Moreover, the dissolution of transition metals and decomposition of electrolyte at the cathode/electrolyte interface are successfully suppressed, resulting in beneficial cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer. As a result, the boron modified cathode exhibits s a high capacity of 180.4mAh g −1 along with an excellent capacity retention of 90% after 100 cycles at 1C in 2.75–4.35 V at 25 °C, while the pristine NCM89 cathode only retains 59% of its initial capacity after 100 cycles. Furthermore, the capacity retention of full cell after 350 cycles is improved from 52.5% to 90%.

The lack of cost-effective regeneration techniques for LiBH 4 limits its large-scale applications for supplying hydrogen via hydrolysis. Now, we report a facile method to regenerate LiBH 4 by ball milling its real hydrolytic byproduct (LiBO 2 · x H 2 O) with cheap Al based reducing agents, instead of traditional Mg. Effective strategies are developed to promote the formation of LiBH 4 by introducing Li 2 O to enable the dense Al 2 O 3 to convert into LiAlO 2 on Al surface and break up passivation layers, and by partially replacing Al with Al-RE alloy to improve grinding and contacting efficiency of raw materials and facilitate the conversion from initial H + in LiBO 2 ·2H 2 O to final H ¯ in LiBH 4 . A yield of 10.4 % can be obtained for a relatively short ball milling time (10 h) for the Al-Al 2 Ce-Li 2 O-LiBO 2 ·2H 2 O system. Another advantage of this method is that the utilization of H + source in LiBO 2 ·2H 2 O improves energy efficiency and reduces the cost. This work broadens the species of reducing agents for borohydride regeneration and enriches its regeneration methods.

Concerning the safety problems of conventional Li-ion batteries with liquid electrolytes, it is crucial to develop reliable solid-state electrolytes with high ionic conductivity . Li 1+x Al x Ti 2−x (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP, x = 0.3) is regarded as one of the most promising solid electrolytes due to its high ionic conductivity and excellent chemical stability to humidity. Herein, a new strategy is proposed for improving the sintering behavior and enhancing the ionic conductivity of LATP by using LiBO 2 as the sintering aid via liquid phase sintering . The as-prepared sample LATP with homogeneous microstructure and high relative density of 97.1% was successfully synthesized, yielding high total ionic conductivity of 3.5 × 10 −4 S cm −1 and low activation energy of 0.39 eV at room temperature. It was found that the addition of LiBO 2 could effectively enhance the densification and increase the ionic conductivity of LATP electrolyte, proving an effective way to synthesis LATP ceramics by a simple and reliable route.

The apparent molar heat capacities of LiBO 2 (aq), NaBO 2 (aq), KBO 2 (aq), Na 2 B 4 O 7 (aq) and K 2 B 4 O 7 (aq) solutions at molalities from 0.01 to 2.6 mol·kg −1 , and at temperatures T = (298.12, 313.13 and 328.14) K have been determined using a Picker flow calorimeter built in this work. Further, the standard heat capacities of these solutes were derived from the experimental data by extrapolation to infinite dilution using the Pitzer ion-interaction model. The group contribution method is used to calculate the standard molar heat capacities of tetraborate ion in three equilibria for different assumptions, among which the prediction on the assumption that the standard molar heat capacity of reaction for the association reaction is zero is the most reasonable, and the results are in good agreement with the experimental data.

The Ni-rich cathode holds great promise for high energy density lithium-ion batteries because of its high capacity and operating voltage. However, crucial problems such as cation disorder, structural degradation, side reactions, and microcracks become serious with increasing nickel content. Herein, a novel and facile sol/antisolvent coating modification of Ni-rich layered oxide LiNi0.85Co0.1Mn0.05O2 (NCM) is developed where we use ethanol to disperse the nanosized LiBO2 to form the sol and adopt tetrahydrofuran (THF) as antisolvent to prepare the cluster of nanoparticles to be coated on the surface of NCM. The coating thickness can be tuned through the THF addition amount. The LiBO2 nanorod deposition is formed as well over the crack of the NCM cathode, likely acting as a patch to repair the original defect of the intrinsic crack. The uniform LiBO2 nanospherical particle coating together with LiBO2 nanorod wrapping provides a double protection against electrolytes. Compared with the raw material, LiBO2-coated LiNi0.85Co0.1Mn0.05O2 (LiBO2-coated NCM) exhibits a high initial Coulombic efficiency of 90.3% at 0.2 C between 2.8 and 4.3 V vs Li+/Li, a superior rate capability, enhanced fast charge property at 3 C, and restricted microcrack formation. This simple in-site modification and repairing technology guarantees a good mechanical integrity of the polycrystalline Ni-rich cathode.

Negative-thermal-expansion (NTE) materials violate the common knowledge of “thermal expansion and cold contraction” in solids and embrace various physical mechanisms. In most phonon-driven NTE materials, an open-framework structure is necessary to accommodate the spatially anisotropic phonon excitations of the bridged atoms, but such a structural feature may result in structural instability at a high temperature. Herein, we focus on γ-LiBO2 with a closed-framework diamond-like structure and identify its uniaxial NTE behavior over the largest temperature range (100−850 K) among this structural family. As the temperature increases, the synergetic structural modification of the constituent structural groups, i.e., the stretching and bending of the Li−O bonds in floppy [LiO4] and the tension or rotation in the [BO4] group, accounts for NTE along the c-axis. Our study unveils that, apart from the anisotropic phonon excitations of individual atoms, the preferred phonon excitations of structural groups are also able to generate NTE, which would update the understanding of the NTE mechanism and guide the further exploration of phonon-driven NTE materials.

High-speed signal propagation systems require dielectric ceramics with low relative permittivity (ε r ) and a high-quality factor ( Qxf ). In this paper, a novel low-permittivity borate ceramic (LiBO 2 ) was synthesized using a conventional solid-state reaction method. Based on the X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement , the LiBO 2 crystallized into a monoclinic structure with a space group of P21/c. Dense and single-phase ceramic was obtained at 640 °C with comprehensive microwave dielectric properties : a low relative permittivity ( ε r ) of 5.3, a moderate quality factor ( Q × f ) of 18,200 GHz at 16.3 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ f ) of − 66.2 ppm/°C. Good chemical compatibility with Ag electrode and thermal expansion coefficient of 25.4 ppm/°C was achieved demonstrating the potential applications as dielectric resonances in wireless communications and substrates in low-temperature cofired ceramics.

The phase equilibrium of the quinary system LiCl–Li2SO4–LiBO2–Li2B4O7–H2O at 323.15 K was studied with an isothermal dissolution method. The dry-salt phase diagram of the quinary system consists of one invariant point saturated with LiCl·H2O, Li2B4O7·3H2O, and LiBO2·2H2O, three univariant curves, and three crystallization regions saturated with Li2SO4·H2O corresponding to LiCl·H2O, Li2B4O7·3H2O, and LiBO2·2H2O. The J(H2O), J(Li2SO4), refractive index, and pH value change gradually with the changing concentration. Combining the equilibrium constants for boron-containing species, the pH values, and concentration of total boron, the boron-containing species distributions in the mixed solution in the system were calculated. The concentrations of B3O3(OH)52– and B5O6(OH)4– are very low and can be neglected. The boron-containing species distributions are mainly affected by m(LiCl) in the solution but less by m(Li2SO4). The results of the phase diagram and boron-containing species distribution in the quinary system can provide fundamental thermodynamic data for the extraction of lithium borate from brines.

Multifunctional performance [(Ba0.85Ca0.15)0.995Eu0.005](Ti0.9Hf0.1)O3 (BCTH-Eu) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid-state low-temperature sintering method via LiBO2 doping, in which the sintering aid LiBO2 was introduced into the calcined perovskite precursor powder through liquid phase coating technique. Phase-pure perovskite structure BCTH-Eu ceramics are obtained by the method, and the sintering temperature is decreased about 150 °C as compared with the conventional method whose sintering temperature is normally above 1450 °C. The ceramics present rather high density, uniform distribution of grains and elementals, and have submicron meter grain size. Due to complex substitution of cations at A-site and B-site of the perovskite structure, the LiBO2-doped BCTH-Eu ceramics exhibit displacive driven normal ferroelectrics accompanied by apparent diffused relaxation characteristic. The 1340 °C sintered LiBO2-doped BCTH-Eu ceramics present maximum piezoelectric constant d33 value of 314 pC/N poled under 20 kV cm−1, and the ceramics sintered between 1320 °C–1330 °C exhibit excellent comprehensive electrical properties and multifunctional performance. Such excellent multifunctional properties obtained in this work can be partially attributed to the coexistence of multi-ferroelectric phases, which is confirmed by dielectric response fitting and Raman Gaussian fitting.

Microcalorimeter measured the dilution enthalpies of the binary systems (LiBO 2 + H 2 O) and (LiB 5 O 8 + H 2 O) at 308.15 K and 0.1 MPa. Based on the Pitzer theory of electrolytes, their apparent molar enthalpies and the Pitzer single electrolyte parameters at 308.15 K were carried out by fitting the experimental data for the first time. Moreover, the calculated apparent molar enthalpies of LiBO 2 and LiB 5 O 8 aqueous solution according to the Pitzer ion-interaction model were consistent well with the experimental values, manifesting the high reliability of this study.
