In this paper, the geometric structure and physicochemical properties of Li

(n = 1–12) clusters were investigated using CALYPSO structure prediction software in combination with density functional theory at B3LYP/6-311G level. The results suggest that the doping of Li atoms has a significant effect on the ground state geometry of the B
n
clusters. The stability changes with the increase in the number of boron atoms. Then two stable ground state structures, Li

hybridization between B–B and Li–B. It is expected that this work can provide some references for future research on boron-based nanomaterials.
