Abstract
Ion transport plays a key role in solid state science. It is not only conceptually important, it is also key to solid state devices in energy research. Moreover, the kinetics of solid state chemical processes typically rely on it. If electron transport is involved as well, redox processes can occur, e.g., storage processes in lithium or sodium batteries. Of particular significance are ionic and mixed conductivity processes in interfacially dominated and/or confined systems (Nanoionics). The latter establishes natural ties to biology. The article traces back all these phenomena to the respective mechanistic centers (e.g., point defects in ionic solids) and to the basic thermodynamic and kinetic relations.
