The formation of an ionic bond involves the removal of an electron from one atom, a process known as ionization, and the energy required is called the ionization potential of the atom.
Because the forces are relatively strong, ionic solids tend to be strong materials, to have definite patterns of cleavage, and to have high melting points.
The movement of electrons in the conductor and the location of the atoms of the nonconductor give the bodies positive charges on the side nearest to the negatively charged body and give negative charges on the sides opposite from it.

 Cerium(IV) oxide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ceria has seen interest as a material for solid oxide fuel cells or SOFCs since it is an ionic conductor, i.e.
This occurs because as the oxygen atoms leave the ceria lattice vacancies are created that don't counteract the charge of the cerium atoms resulting in a repulsion of ceriums that leads to an expanion of the lattice.
These vacancies are also responsible for the ionic conductivity of the ceria.

 Editorial
Modern advances in the electrochemistry of solids have upturned two of these assumptions: a large number of ionic compounds are now classified as ‘superionic’ conductors as they conduct in the solid state and are important materials for developing new types of battery.
On cooling the organic conductors their resistance decreases like true metals, but unfortunately change to an insulating state around 50 K. As conductors these materials are inferior to graphite but one additional reason for the intense interest in them is the possibility they hold for an organic super-conductor operating at temperatures of 20K or above.
An electronic conductor may either be a metallic conductor (resistance drops with decreasing temperature, electrons carry the current) or a semi-conductor (resistance increases as temperature decreases; current carried by electrons, n-type, or by electron-holes, p-type).

 C&EN: NEWS OF THE WEEK - ION TRANSPORT IN POLYMER COMPLEXES
In work that could lead to the development of all-solid-state rechargeable lithium batteries and other electrochemical devices, researchers in Scotland have shown that ionic conductivity in a family of crystalline polymer electrolytes is superior to that in the equivalent amorphous materials.
They also demonstrated, using NMR spectroscopy, that the ionic conductivity in the crystalline materials is dominated by transport of the lithium cations.
The team suggests that the enhanced ionic conductivity of the crystalline materials results from the cations moving through the tunnels.
