英文摘要：

In this paper the fine performance and application prospects of boron and metal boride are introduced, and the methods and principles of preparing such material at home and abroad are outlined. By studying the actuality of experimental and research, the advantages of preparating boron and metal borides powder with molten salt electrolysis are much easier, less expensive and environmentally friendly and high purity of products. The molten salt electrolysis has become one of most hopeful methods to prepare boron and metal boride. The mechanism of electrode reactions and continuous electrolysis are main academic problems and the development of continuous electrolysis equipment is an important technical obstacle. With far-ranging cooperation of scientific research, the application of molten salt electrolysis method is very promising in the future.
