Popis: Impedance measurements of a Li2B4O7 single crystal with Ag electrodes have been performed in the frequency range of 1–3 × 107 Hz at room temperature. A Li2B4O7 crystal (sp. gr. I41cd, Z = 8) has been oriented along the c crystallographic axis. Contributions from the crystal bulk and the crystal/electrode interface are distinguished from the impedance hodograph of the Ag|Li2B4O7|Ag system. The structural mechanism of lithium-ion transport in Li2B4O7 crystals is discussed. Through conduction σdc = 2.3 × 10–9 S/cm, carrier (vacancy $$V_{{{\text{Li}}}}^{ - }$$) mobility μmob = 6 × 10–10 cm2/(s V), and their concentration nmob = 2.4 × 1019 cm–3 (0.14% on the amount of lithium in the lattice) are calculated based on the electrical and structural data.
