Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.Super‐stretchable and self‐healing polyacrylate ternary ionogel elastomers are used for flexible i‐TE devices. Based on Gutmann donor theory of doped anion, the work proposes a three‐parameter tuning strategy of flexible polymer‐doped anion‐synergistic cation to achieve the systematic design of ionic thermoelectric materials. Abstract Quasi‐solid‐state,
