The stimuli‐responsive orientation of liquid crystals having ionic appendages seems to have a great impact on the modern age molecular electronics. Low cost environmentally benign materials is the need of current century ailing from various severe environmental backlashes. Here we are presenting a stimuli‐responsive ionic liquid crystal derived from an industrial waste by‐product as a resistive memory material for soft and flexible electronics. Thermal and potential responsive ordering of this imidazolium‐based ionic liquid crystal would be benefited in the design of high performance non‐volatile memory devices. Potential‐responsive ordering of the liquid crystalline mesophase is responsible for the orientation of charge carriers to improve the charge conduction of the system.
