The B-Li (Boron-Lithium) system

Rediscovering the Crystal Chemistry of Borides

“…The interplay between metals and boron results in even more varied material's properties, many of which can be tuned via chemistry. Thus, the aim of this review is to reintroduce to the scientific community the developments in boride crystal Review cuboctahedra, M 8 cubes, M′ at the center of the cuboctahedra, isolated M′ and boron atoms ( Figure 2).

“…The eutectic at 453 k can be detected in the samples with X(Li) ≤ 0.545 [27], indicating that the homogeneity range at this temperature is not as wide as that in the phase diagram's model. [26] with data from [27] and our own DTA data All the experimental results of the standard enthalpy of formation of the intermetallic compounds of the B-Li system obtained from the calorimetric measurements compared with the first principles study are shown in Table 4. …”

“…In 1989, Okamoto [25] collected information on the investigations of the B-Li system and presented all the phases which were suggested in the literature (B 13 Li, B 6 Li, B 14 Li 3, B 4 Li, B 3 Li, B 2 Li, BLi, BLi 3 ), and in 2003, borgstedt and gumiński [26] proposed the part of the B-Li phase diagram which also took into consideration the liquidus and solidus temperatures presented in [27] for alloys of the Li concentration between 0.5 and 1 mole fraction, beside the B 4 Li, BLi 3 and B 2 Li phases.…”

Alloy-Based Anode Materials

“…Although the boron-lithium phase diagram shows several compounds [122], Li poorly reacts with B at room temperature [123]. Actually, B or rather Li-B alloys have been studied for application in the so-called thermal batteries, which are primary devices working at high temperature (350-450°C) with molten salt electrolytes [124,125].…”
