Abstract
Mixing hydrated water into the dopant layer prolongs the operational stability of n-type carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Supramolecular interactions with Li+ increase the water adsorption of the dopant layer, hinder atmospheric oxygen from entering the CNT structure, and extend the n-type lifetime at 373 K from 6 to 16 d.
