Ionic conduction occurs via the movement of charged particles (ions) through a medium. This can happen in several ways: 1. Vacancy Mechanism: Ions move through vacancies in a crystalline lattice. 2. Interstitial Mechanism: Ions move through interstitial sites in the lattice. 3. Grotthuss Mechanism: Proton conduction through hydrogen-bonded networks, often seen in water and proton-conducting polymers.
