Obtained results show that B18P18 as anode electrode in metal-ion batteries has higher potential than B18N18. Calculated results illustrated that K-ion battery has higher cell voltage and higher performance than Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. Calculated results indicated that adopted metal-ion batteries with F have higher cell voltage and higher performance than adopted metal-ion batteries with Cl and Br. [Display omitted] •The B18P18 as anode in metal-ion batteries has higher potential than B18N18.•The KIB has higher Vcell and higher performance than NIB and KIB.•The halogen adoption increase the Vcell of studied metal-ion batteries.•K-F-B17P18 can proposed as novel metal-ion batteries with high efficiently. Performance of B18N18 and B18P18 as anodes in metal-ion batteries (MIBs) were examined. Effects of halogen adoption of B18N18 and B18P18 as anodes in MIBs were examined. The B18P18 as anode in MIBs has larger potential than B18N18. The K-ion battery takes larger voltage of cell and performance than Na- and Li-ion batteries. The halogen adoption of B18N18 and B18P18 improves the cell voltage of MIBs. The storage capacities of B18N18 and B18P18 nanocages for Li-ion batteries are 893 and 795 mAh/g, respectively. The cell voltages of F-doped MIBs were larger than Br- and Cl-doped MIBs. The F-B17P18 as anode in K-ion battery proposed as novel MIBs with the highest performance.
