We describe how iterative, orthogonal density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU) separations can be used to produce nearly single‐chirality (6,5) SWNTs. SWNT network transistors made from these highly pure, ≥98% semiconducting SWNTs simultaneously exhibit high on/off ratios, mobilities, and on‐state conductances, suggesting their future application in integrated circuits and near‐infrared optoelectronic light emitters and photodetectors.
