A simple and facile method has been developed that allows water‐soluble hybrid materials of Au nanoparticles and hole‐doped single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) to be prepared. Uniformly arranged Au nanoparticles (see TEM image) were obtained by the addition of metal salts to surfactant‐suspended SWNTs in water using the solution‐phase dispersion technique.
