A new form of carbon‐nanotube (CNT) material , CNT cotton, which is analogous to conventional cotton in many aspects including the color and fluffiness, is synthesized (see figure). The cotton is composed of ultralong individual CNTs and exhibits excellent hydrophobicity. This form of CNT material shows great potential for large‐scale fiber production.
