Abstract: In the context of revealing interfacial effects on ion conduction, thin films are extremely worthwhile due to defined geometry. Of particular interest are heterostructures as they offer symmetric boundary conditions and a high density of hetero-interfaces. The recent progress in this field is reviewed. Materials classes under concern include halides and oxides, and refer to various degrees of disorder and different mobilities. Even though in its infancy, the field of ionic heterostructures is already characterized by a variety of results of fundamental importance and of technological relevance.<br /> (Copyright © 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
