Nanoionics[1] is the study and application of phenomena, properties, and mechanisms of processes connected with fast electrical double layer devices) for conversion and storage of energy, charge and information. The term and conception of nanoionics (as a new branch of science) were first introduced by A.L.Despotulu and V.I.Nikolaichik in January 1992[1].

There are two classes of solid state ionic nanosystems and two fundamentally different nanoionics: (i) nanosystems based on solids with low ionic conductivity, and (ii) nanosystems based on advanced superionic conductors. The second was introduced in [2].

The important case of fast ionic conduction in solid states is one in a surface space-charge layer of ionic crystals. Such conduction was first predicted by Kurt Lehovec[3]. As a space-charge layer has nanometer thickness, the effect is directly related to nanoionics (nanoionics-I). The Lehovec’s effect [3] had given a basis for a creation of a multitude of nanostructured fuel cells.

Some examples of creation of MEMS, smartdust, nanosystems, or reconfigurable memory cell arrays (computer data storage).

Nanoelectronics and nanoionics have an area of intersection. This area can be called by nanoelionics.
