We present a new concept for the design of a polymeric conducting material that combines the chemical versatility of an organic salt ( ionic liquid) with the morphological versatility of a biopolymer ( gelatin); the resulting {\textquoteright}ion jelly{\textquoteright} can be applied in electrochemical devices, such as batteries, fuel cells, electrochromic windows or photovoltaic cells.
