We report solid state ionics, the study of fast ion transport in solids, expanded explosively after the discovery of sodium ion transport in b-alumina 50 years ago and has revolutionized energy storage. Lithium ion batteries have come from a dream with titanium disulfide to enabling the communications revolution and are enabling renewable energy. Much can be learnt from these early studies, that will allow the attainment of a fossil-free society and a sustainable environment.
