Wall‐ and Hybridisation‐Selective Synthesis of Nitrogen‐Doped Double‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Controlled nitrogen‐doping is a powerful methodology to modify the properties of carbon nanostructures and produce functional materials for electrocatalysis, energy conversion and storage, and sensing, among others. Herein, we report a wall‐ and hybridisation‐selective synthetic methodology to produce double‐walled carbon nanotubes with an inner tube doped exclusively with graphitic sp²‐nitrogen atoms. Our measurements shed light on the fundamental properties of nitrogen‐doped nanocarbons opening the door for developing their potential applications.
