A high‐performance gum‐like electrolyte with thermal‐protection capability is constructed based on emulsion technique. The gummy electrolytes show excellent performance in adhesion/contact, structural integrity under various deformations, high ionic conductivity, and safety (thermal‐protection and leakage‐free properties). These results indicate that the gummy electrolyte is a viable solution for safe and flexible/stretchable lithium ion batteries.
