A practically nonconducting triazine‐phenol polymer with high surface‐hydrophobicity is transformed into a proton conducting electrolyte by tunable Li + loading. The high hydration tendency of the Li + enables the retention of residual waters assisting conductivities as high as 1.63 × 10 −3 S cm −1 even at 150 ºC. The crucial role of residual water is rationalized by comparing the conductivities in D 2 O and H 2 O.
