Ionic solids have been known since the time of the cave man, who knew what salt was and gave it its name. The ancient Babylonians and ancient Greeks knew about a lot more ionic compounds.

As for who first separated them into their components, that was Sir Humphrey Davey in about 1805.

As for who explained how they do what they do, that was Svante August Arrhenius, a Swedish chemist of about 1895. He won the Nobel Prize.
