Comparative studies were done on two new types of boron based anion receptors, tris(pentafluorophenyl) borane (TFPB) and tris(pentafluorophenyl) borate (TFPBO), regarding conductivity enhancement, and electrochemical and thermal stability when used as additives in composite electrolytes for lithium batteries. Both additives enhance the ionic conductivity of electrolytes of simple lithium salts, LiF, CF{sub 3}CO{sub 2}Li, and C{sub 2}F{sub 5}CO{sub 2}Li in several organic solvents/ The electrochemical windows of TPFB based electrolytes in ethylene carbonate-propylene carbonate-dimethyl carbonate (1:1:3, v/v) are up to 5, 4.76 V for LiF, CF{sub 3}CO{sub 2}Li, and C{sub 2}F{sub 5}CO{sub 2}Li, respectively, TPFBO has lower electrochemical stability compared to TPFB. The thermal stability of pure TFPB is better than TFPBO. Complexation with the salt improves the thermal stability of these additives. TPFB based electrolytes showed high cycling efficiencies and cycleability when they were tested in Li/LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} cells. TFPBO based electrolytes showed high cycling efficiencies and good cycleability when they were tested in Li/LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} cells. TFPBO based electrolytes were tested in Li/LiNiO{sub 2} cells; the cells delivered high discharge capacity and good cycling efficiencies. The capacity retention of the cells using TFPB based electrolytes during multiple cycling is better than those using TFPBO based electrolytes.
