An object of the present invention is to provide an infrared sensor having a high TCR value, and a method for manufacturing the infrared sensor. The infrared sensor comprises a substrate, a first electrode on the substrate, a second electrode spaced from the first electrode on the substrate, and a carbon nanotube layer electrically connected with the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the carbon nanotube layer comprises semiconducting carbon nanotubes in an amount more than 66% by mass based on the total amount of carbon nanotubes and 60% or more of the carbon nanotubes contained in the carbon nanotube layer have a diameter within a range of 0.6 to 1.5 nm and a length within a range of 100 nm to 5 μm.

A method for carbon nanotube purification, preferably including: providing carbon nanotubes; depositing a mask; and/or selectively removing a portion of the mask; and optionally including removing a subset of the carbon nanotubes and/or removing the remaining mask.

A single-walled carbon nanotube composition includes single-walled carbon nanotubes substantially enriched in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes in association with a polymer having one or more oligoether side groups. The oligoether side groups render the composition dispersable in polar organic solvents, for example alkyl carbitols, permitting formulation of ink compositions containing single-walled carbon nanotubes substantially enriched in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes. Such ink compositions may be readily printed using common printing methods, such as inkjet, flexography and gravure printing.
