The increased need of energy storage via Li- and Na-ion batteries requires a continuous search for new cathode materials having higher energy density and being safe and sustainable. Thus, we explored borate based compounds capable of reacting with Li/ Na-ions in a reversible way either through topotactic- or conversion reactions. We focused on candidates with polyborate anions, that are expected to show elevated redox potentials compared to BO3 based materials. Using Li6CuB4O10 as a model compound we showed the possibility to achieve redox potentials of 4.2 and 3.9 V vs Li for the α- and β-polymorphs. The redox activity was rationalized through EPR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. We further reveal the structural/ synthetic relation betw...
