Oxide ionotronics is an interdisciplinary field in which systems and devices rely on the migration of ions/ionic defects to alter or drive functionality. In this perspective, we focus on epitaxial oxide heterostructures and the contributing roles of oxygen vacancies and interfaces in ionotronics. We begin with a description of oxygen vacancy behavior, with a focus on vacancy ordering and the effects of interfaces and electric fields on particular epitaxial oxide systems. We then emphasize the use of synchrotron x-ray techniques for investigating system structure and dynamics in situ at interfaces and surfaces. Finally, an outlook on the future of epitaxial oxide ionotronics is provided, and several key areas for research are identified, such as freestanding heterostructures, combinatorial synthesis and machine learning, and next-generation synchrotron x-ray characterization.
