Superionic solid

Electrochemistry is concerned with the study of the interface between an electronic and an ionic conductor and, traditionally, has concentrated on (i) the nature of the ionic conductor, which is usually an aqueous or (more rarely) a non-aqueous solution, polymer or superionic solid containing mobile ions (ii) the structure of the electrified interface that fonns on inunersion of an electronic conductor into an ionic conductor and (iii) the electron-transfer processes that can take place at this interface and the limitations on the rates of such processes.
