We synthesized Li and Na monocarborate salts with minimal protic impurities and reassessed their electrochemical windows. Na salts display higher efficiency for metal deposition/stripping and are more oxidatively stable than Li salts. This strong cation effect is rationalized in terms of differences in charge density between Li+ and Na+ cations.
