Thermoresponsive smart electrolytes based on Pluronic solution are developed for active control and thermal self‐protection of electrochemical energy‐storage devices. Mechanistic studies reveal that the highly effective and reversible self‐protection behavior is attributed to the sol–gel transition of the Pluronic solution upon temperature change. The transition temperature and the degree of performance suppression can be tuned over a wide range.
