• Practical application would require further aspects that are not discussed in this paper (e.g. stability). Indeed, the Ag⁺-doped SWNT films showed slow degradation (Table S1. See Supplemental Information). Further dopant design and/or passivation method development will be required although this is not the main subjects of this paper.
