In this paper, the humidity sensing properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified with LiClO 4 was investigated. FTIR spectra showed that the ends of carbon nanotubes purified with nitric acid was opened and saturated with carboxylic acid groups and carboxylate groups. For comparison, the humidity sensing characteristics of four elements, MnWO 4 (Hubnerite), BaTiO 3 (Perovskite), NiWO 4 (Huberite), ZnCr 2 O 4 (Spinel) were discussed. Experimental data showed that LiClO 4/ MWNTs element exhibited excellent humidity sensing properties, that is, the response time can reach 7 min, the recovery time within 1 min and its sensitivity up to 35 000. Also, it was found that a small increase in resistance of pure MWNTs disappeared during the first few minutes after exposure to water by modifying with LiClO 4. The static and dynamic measurements showed that WMNTs / LiClO 4 sensing element exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity to water vapor.

Polymer composites are favorite materials for sensing applications due to their low cost and easy fabrication. In the current study, composite nanofibers consisting of polyethylene oxide (PEO), oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles with 1% and 3% of fillers (i.e., PEO–CuO–MWCNT: 1%, and PEO–CuO–MWCNT: 3%) were successfully developed through electrospinning for humidity sensing applications. The composite nanofibers were characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM and EDX analysis. Firstly, they were loaded on an interdigitated electrode (IDE), and then the humidity sensing efficiency was investigated through a digital LCR meter (E4980) at different frequencies (100 Hz–1 MHz), as well as the percentage of relative humidity (RH). The results indicated that the composite nanofibers containing 1% and 3% MWCNT, combined with CuO in PEO polymer matrix, showed potent resistive and capacitive response along with high sensitivity to humidity at room temperature in an RH range of 30–90%. More specifically, the PEO–CuO–MWCNT: 1% nanocomposite displayed a resistive rapid response time within 3 s and a long recovery time of 22 s, while the PEO–CuO–MWCNT: 3% one exhibited 20 s and 11 s between the same RH range, respectively.
