The electrical, structural, and physical properties of alkali iron borate glasses with composition (60-x)M2O-40B2O3-xFe2O3 (M = Li, Na) with x = 0, 5, 10, and 15 mol% were investigated in this study. All glasses were synthesized by the melt-quenching method. The prepared glasses were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and impedance measurements. X-ray diffraction results confirmed the non-crystalline nature of the prepared glass samples. The incorporation of iron oxide (Fe2O3) led to an increase in both density and molar volume. Raman and FTIR data show that increasing iron concentration causes a decrease in pyroborate band (∼1360 cm−1) and an increase in bands near 500 cm−1, indicating the conversion of compact BO3 units into more open BO4 and diborate structures. Both the dielectric constant () and dielectric loss () of these glasses decreases with frequency. The AC conductivity of all the glasses increased with frequency, reaching a maximum room-temperature value of the order of 10−5 S/m. At low frequencies (100 Hz), the highest electrical conductivity was observed for sodium iron borate glass with 10 mol% Fe2O3 and lithium iron borate glass with 15 mol% Fe2O3. The radius of the semicircular arcs in the Cole–Cole plots decreases with increasing Fe2O3 concentration and temperature, indicating enhanced electrical conductivity.
