✦ Synopsis

The electrical conductivity of the lithium borophosphate system has been studied. An enhancement in the ionic conductivity has been obtained via the mixed glass former effect. Two maxima have been observed in the conductivity and have been explained by using a thermodynamic approach. The highest conductivity at 30 "C is 1 X lop6 (ohm cm))', corresponding to a Li/P ratio of unity. Glass with this composition may find useful application in electrochemical power sources.
