Quantum dots on the block : Water‐soluble carbon nanotube (CNT)/amphiphilic block polyelectrolyte nanohybrids were prepared and utilized as templates for the in situ synthesis of semiconducting CdS nanoparticles. Electronic interactions within the CNT/amphiphilic block polyelectrolyte–CdS nanoensemble (as modeled in the figure) were identified.
