UV‐induced switching from p‐ to n‐type character is demonstrated during deposition of carbon‐nanotube–conjugated polymer composites. This opens the possibility to photopattern n‐type regions within an otherwise p‐type film, which has a potential for complementary circuitry or, as shown here, thermoelectric generators made from a single solution.
