State‐of‐the‐art proton exchange membranes (PEMs) often suffer from significantly reduced conductivity under low relative humidity, hampering their efficient application in fuel cells. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with pre‐designable and well‐defined structures hold promise to cope with the ab...
