We calculate the radiative capture cross section for ⁷Be(α,γ)¹¹C and its reaction rate of relevance for the big bang nucleosynthesis. The impact of this reaction on the primordial ⁷Li abundance is revised including narrow and broad resonances in the pertinent energy region. Our calculations show that it is unlikely that very low energy resonances in ¹¹C of relevance for the big bang nucleosynthesis would emerge within a two-body potential model. Based on our results and a comparison with previous theoretical and experimental analyses, we conclude that the impact of this reaction on the so-called "cosmological lithium puzzle" is completely irrelevant.
