We study the molecular mechanisms of alkali halide ion interactions with the single‐wall carbon nanotube surface in water by means of fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. We focus on the basic physical‐chemical principles of ion–nanotube interactions in aqueous solutions and discuss them in light of recent experimental findings on selective ion effects on carbon nanotubes.
