You are warmly invited to join us in Sheffield in April 2023. Organised by the Faraday Division and associated Interest Groups of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Faraday Joint Interest Group Conference is a popular meeting in the physical chemistry calendar, attracting some of the top UK and international researchers working in the field. Attracting between 300 and 400 delegates and featuring a wide-ranging and topical programme covering the breadth of physical chemistry, it provides researchers with the chance to network, collaborate and hear the latest research from prestigious plenary and keynote speakers.

Studying interaction of solvated ions with interfaces and their transport inside ionic devices has been a recurrently hot topic for research at the interface of physics, chemistry, and processing technologies. Iontronics, in a general use of this term, concern systems in which dissolved ions such as Na+, Cl-, and Ca2+ get transported. The driving force in iontronics is not necessarily electric or diffusive, but sometimes also convective due to fluid flows. The coupling between charge and fluid transport has found a wide range of applications, from signal transduction to energy generation or storage. The breadth and diversity of iontronic concepts, however, has been studied in parallel scientific tracks. To create opportunities for cross-fertilization between these tracks, this Faraday Discussion will be an opportunity to present the most recent experimental, theoretical, and numerical methods in the field, to review some of the existing challenges, both in fundamental research (e.g. understanding nanoscale ion transport) and in industrial applications (e.g. membrane technology, energy storage, imaging at the nanoscale), and to strengthen synergetic interactions between researchers addressing the microscopic and device-level mechanisms involved in these very pressing problems.

Join us for this edition of the Faraday Discussion series. The Faraday Discussions are unique international discussion meetings that address current and emerging topics at the forefront of the physical sciences. This meeting is for established and early-career scientists and postgraduate working in the area of electronic structure. It will provide an ideal forum to reflect on where the field is, and the grand challenges which remain to be tackled, in order to extend its applicability to wider communities. On behalf of the organising committee, we look forward to welcoming you to London, or if you are joining us virtually, online.
