Solid-state electrochemistry is a rapidly developing scientific field that integrates many aspects of the classical electrochemical science and engineering, solid-state chemistry and physics, materials science, heterogeneous catalysis, and other areas of physical chemistry. This field comprises, but is not limited to, electrochemistry of solid materials, thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions involving at least one solid phase, transport of ions and electrons in solids and interactions between solid, liquid, and/or gaseous phases whenever these processes are essentially determined by properties of solids and are relevant to the electrochemical reactions, and a variety of practical applications using solid electrolytes, mixed ionicelectronic conductors, and solid-state electrochemical reactions. The range of these applications includes many types of batteries, fuel cells, capacitors and accumulators, numerous sensors and analytical appliances, electrochemical gas pumps and compressors, electrochromic and memory devices, ceramic membranes with ionic or mixed ionic-electronic conductivity, solid-state electrolyzers and electrocatalytic reactors, synthesis of new materials with improved properties, and corrosion protection. The first fundamental discoveries considered now as the foundation of solid-state electrochemistry were made in the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries by M. Faraday, E. Warburg, W. Nernst, C. Tubandt, W. Schottky, C. Wagner, and other famous scientists. Their works provided background for the fast progress achieved both in the understanding of the solid-state electrochemical processes and in the applied developments during the second half of the twentieth century. Apart from the fundamental electrochemical phenomena, many experimental methods and theoretical approaches elaborated in the classical works are used in solid-state electrochemistry up to now, in combination with advanced technological and scientific facilities and, often, novel concepts and models.As for any other area, the progress in solid-state electrochemistry leads both to new horizons and to new challenges. In particular, the increasing demands for higher performance of the electrochemical devices lead to the necessity to develop novel approaches for the nanometerscale optimization of materials and interfaces, for analysis and modeling of highly non-ideal systems, and for overcoming numerous gaps in knowledge, which became only possible due to recent achievements in the related areas of science and technology. As for technological implementation of experimental and theoretical concepts extending from the nano to macro levels, continuous efforts are always necessary to introduce state-of-the-art electrochemical techniques to the closely related scientific areas and to adopt their advanced methods to study electrochemical systems. Moreover, the rising amount and diversity of available scientific information during the last decades increase the importance of systematization, verification, unificat...
