Starting out from the consideration of ionic charge carrier distribution at interfaces, “nanoionics” has developed into an established field within Solid State Ionics, covering not only conductivity aspects but also storage phenomena. Even though nanoionics is already relevant for interfacial phenomena in semi- infinite systems, it unfolds its significance most pronouncedly in mesoscopic systems where interfaces are so narrowly spaced that their impact is perceived at any position.
The history of the field is set out in terms of examples ranging from Heterogeneous Electrolytes to Job-
Sharing Storage and Bio-Ionics [1].
