Relating to or involving both electrical and ionic processes, particularly the movement of charged particles through solutions.
Compound of 'electro-' and 'ionic' (from Greek 'ion' meaning wandering, referring to charged atoms). The term developed as chemistry and electricity merged in the 19th century.
Electroionic processes explain how batteries actually work—ions (charged atoms) move through the battery solution while electrons flow through your device, and it's this dance between them that powers everything from your phone to electric cars.
