Claim 9:
10. A method of forming a boron lithium coating comprising:
providing a substrate within an atomic layer deposition reactor; and
depositing a coating of lithium boron composite by an atomic layer deposition process including:
pulsing a lithium precursor comprising a lithium tertiary butoxide into the reactor;
purging the reactor of the lithium precursor;
pulsing a first boron precursor and the first co-reactant; and
purging the reactor of the boron first precursor and the first co-reactant; and
pulsing a second boron precursor, different from the first boron precursor, and a second-co-reactant different from the first co-reactant;
wherein the second boron precursor comprises boron fluoride and the second co-reactant comprises at least one of HF or HF-pyridine, or the second boron precursor comprises boron sulfide and the second co-reactant comprises at least one of S or H2S.
