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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
