The stability of n‐type nanocarbon materials in air has yet to be realized for practical applications in organic thermoelectrics. In this work, n‐type carbon nanotubes stabilized by the encapsulation of air‐stable, redox‐active compounds are developed. This development readily enables the large‐scale fabrication of thermoelectric materials showing an excellent power factor exceeding approximately 240 μW mK −2 at raised temperatures.
