This work focuses on determining the influence of both ionic‐liquid (IL) type and redox couple concentration on Seebeck coefficient values of such a system. The quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) and read‐across techniques are proposed as methods to identify structural features of ILs (mixed with LiI/I 2 redox couple), which have the most influence on the Seebeck coefficient ( S e ) values of the system. ILs consisting of small, symmetric cations and anions with high values of vertical electron binding energy are recognized as those with the highest values of S e . In addition, the QSPR model enables the values of S e to be predicted for each IL that belongs to the applicability domain of the model. The influence of the redox‐couple concentration on values of S e is also quantitatively described. Thus, it is possible to calculate how the value of S e will change with changing redox‐couple concentration. The presence of the LiI/I 2 redox couple in lower concentrations increases the values of S e , as expected.
