Sodium pyrophosphate Na4P2O7 has been studied by several methods: complex i
mpedance spectroscopy (IS) measurements, at variable temperature, have give
n the variation of conductivity with temperature. This method is supplement
ed by thermal analysis. The results are correlated with the different phase
transitions and activation energies are calculated for each phase. (C) 199
