The humidity sensitive characteristics of the sensor fabricated from 10 mol% La2O3doped CeO2nanopowders with particle size 17.26 nm synthesized via hydrothermal method were investigated at different frequencies. It was found that the sensor shows high humidity sensitivity, rapid response-recovery characteristics, and narrow hysteresis loop at 100 Hz in the relative humidity range from 11% to 95%. The impedance of the sensor decreases by about five orders of magnitude as relative humidity increases. The maximum humidity hysteresis is about 6% RH, and the response and recovery time is 12 and 13 s, respectively. These results indicate that the nanosized La2O3doped CeO2powder has potential application as high-performance humidity sensor.

Constraction and characteristics of sorption polymeric relative humidity sensors, sorption SiOx microhumidity sensors, and condensation type (dew point) sensors are compared. The characteristics of the sensors are examined in dew point range from -80 to +20oC. An integrated multifunctional humidity sensor, for measurements in wide humidity range at different conditions is developed. The sensors are intended for use in various branches of industry, and in scientific researches.

We report the fabrication of stretchable sensor films (SSF) using a composite of functionalized polypyrrole- single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-silver nanowire hybrid networks embedded into a cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane elastomer. The SSF exhibited low resistivity of 30 Ω/sq and an outstanding mechanical elasticity of up to 25% (no visible change in the sheet resistance after 100 cycle at stretching-release test of 25%). These SSFs were responsive to 1 ppm ammonia gas even at a low temperature of 40 °C with 20% relative humidity and also maintained reproducibility and reversibility when repeatedly exposed to ammonia gas more than 100 times. In addition, it was confirmed that the sensor film was hardly affected even at a relative humidity range of 20% to 80%.

A novel composite based on a polymer (P(VDF-TrFE)) and a two-dimensional material (graphene flower) was proposed as the active layer of an interdigitated electrode (IDEs) based humidity sensor. Silver (Ag) IDEs were screen printed on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate followed by spin coating the active layer of P(VDF-TrFE)/graphene flower on its surface. It was observed that this sensor responds to a wide relative humidity range (RH%) of 8–98% with a fast response and recovery time of 0.8 s and 2.5 s for the capacitance, respectively. The fabricated sensor displayed an inversely proportional response between capacitance and RH%, while a directly proportional relationship was observed between its impedance and RH%. P(VDF-TrFE)/graphene flower-based flexible humidity sensor exhibited high sensitivity with an average change of capacitance as 0.0558 pF/RH%. Stability of obtained results was monitored for two weeks without any considerable change in the original values, signifying its high reliability. Various chemical, morphological, and electrical characterizations were performed to comprehensively study the humidity-sensing behavior of this advanced composite. The fabricated sensor was successfully used for the applications of health monitoring and measuring the water content in the environment.

The Boltzmann equation is applied to fit data of volume loss for evaporation (in %) during spirit ageing in northern white oak (Quercus Alba) standard barrels of 205 L (+/− 10 L) using a temperature and humidity controlled cellar. The Boltzmann equation satisfactory fitted to the experimental data of the volume loss against temperature at constant humidity. Two parameters of the Boltzmann equation showed a linear dependency on the relative humidity of the air, while the other two parameters exhibited a constant value independently of the air humidity. The found empirical mathematical model can be used to calculate the volume loss for evaporation of spirits (40% v/v of ethanol) during ageing in terms of relative humidity (range: 40%–95%) and temperature (range: 10–30 °C) with significant accuracy.
