Bicyclic-ring base doping induces n-type conduction in carbon nanotubes with outstanding thermal stability in air

The preparation of stable n-type carbon nanotubes is desirable for their potential applications in molecular electronics. Here, the authors report that doping with bicyclic-ring organic superbases enables the synthesis of n-type carbon nanotubes with excellent thermal stability in air.
