In this study, we demonstrated a highly selective chemiresistive-type NO 2 gas sensor using facilely prepared carbon dot (CD)-decorated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The CD-decorated SWCNT suspension was characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-visible spectroscopy, and then spread onto an SiO 2 /Si substrate by a simple and cost-effective spray-printing method. Interestingly, the resistance of our sensor increased upon exposure to NO 2 gas, which was contrary to findings previously reported for SWCNT-based NO 2 gas sensors. This is because SWCNTs are strongly doped by the electron-rich CDs to change the polarity from p -type to n -type. In addition, the CDs to SWCNTs ratio in the active suspension was critical in determining the response values of gas sensors; here, the 2:1 device showed the highest value of 42.0% in a sensing test using 4.5 ppm NO 2 gas. Furthermore, the sensor selectively responded to NO 2 gas (response ~15%), and to other gases very faintly (NO, response ~1%) or not at all (CO, C 6 H 6 , and C 7 H 8 ). We propose a reasonable mechanism of the CD-decorated SWCNT-based sensor for NO 2 sensing, and expect that our results can be combined with those of other researches to improve various device performances, as well as for NO 2 sensor applications.
