Dispersible carbon nanotube/gold nanohybrids have been synthesized (see TEM image). The dispersed nanohybrids (either formed from single‐walled or multi‐walled carbon nanotubes and thiol‐protected gold nanoparticles) give rise to strong electronic coupling, which affects their important physicochemical properties.
