Using spectroscopic and thermoelectric characterization, the effect of organic bases on the doping of carbon nanotubes is investigated by Y. Nonoguchi, R. M. Uda, T. Kawai, and co‐workers in article number 1603420. The composite prepared at an appropriate pH shows n‐type transport properties with excellent air stability, demonstrating a green and practical route to n‐type thermoelectric materials.
