“…However, rapid capacity and voltage fade, poor thermal stability, and irreversible reactions at the electrode|electrolyte interfaces still affect their application in today's and next-generation Li-ion batteries [8][9][10] . Effective optimization strategies encompass various techniques, such as elemental cation doping (e.g., Mg 11,12 , Al [13][14][15] , Ti 15,16 , Zr 17,18 ), and surface coating (B [19][20][21] , PO 4 3-22 , Cl 23 ). Among others, boron coating has been a commonly employed method to considerably enhance the performance of NCMs 20,21 .…”
