Key advances in ionic liquid (IL) research are highlighted in the Minireview on page 5391 ff., M.‐R. Gao, J. Yuan, and M. Antonietti with regard morphology and polymorph control for the access of inorganic crystalline materials with tailored size, dimensionalities, morphologies, and functionalities. This approach is extended by introducing polymeric counterparts (PILs) as additives. Moreover, various applications ranging from actuators and electrocatalysis to energy storage are spotlighted, illustrating that crystalline materials created from ILs/PILs usually enable improved functionalities and performance.
