Decomposition of nonaqueous electrolyte

Various compounds formed on materials of rechargeable lithium batteries due to decomposition of nonaqueous electrolytes... 

The effects of boron doping are to decrease polarization, reduce the decomposition of nonaqueous electrolytes, and improve cycling performance. For example, the reversible capacity of B-doped LiCo02 can exceed 130 mAh/g. At a B doping rate of 10 atom%, the reversible capacity is still >125 mAh/g after 100 cycles.
