A new liquid‐crystalline ion gel exhibits unprecedented properties: conductivity up to 8 mS cm −1 , thermal stability to 300 °C, and electrochemical window to 6.1 V, as well as adjustable transport anisotropy (up to 3.5×) and elastic modulus (0.03–3 GPa). The combination of ionic liquid and magnetically oriented rigid‐rod polyanion provides widely tunable properties for use in diverse electrochemical devices.
