• monitoring its concentration is crucial for applications such as air quality monitoring. Leveraging the NO2 sensitivity of carbon nanotubes to build highly sensitive, low-power gas sensors is therefore not only of academic, but also of great commercial interest. As such, we will focus on the NO2-SWNT system
