Iontronics: From Fundamentals to Ion-controlled Devices: Faraday Discussion 246

Iontronics is a newly emerging field of research that studies the science and technology of electronic properties and functions controlled by the movement and arrangement of ions, such as Na⁺, Cl^- or Ca²⁺. The driving forces in iontronics include electric, diffusive and convective forces due to the presence of fluid flows. This multidisciplinary field lies at the interface between physics, chemistry, electronic engineering and even biological sciences.

The coupling between charge and fluid ...
