In article number 1700804 , Tsuyoshi Kawai, and Yoshiyuki Nonoguchi, and co‐workers, report an approximately five‐fold enhancement in the thermoelectric properties of single‐walled carbon nanotube films using electrolytes. Complementary spectroscopic characterization with semitransparent carbon nanotube films reveals high‐definition hole doping associated with electrolyte adsorption. This finding enables a synergistic enhancement of the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient.
