Response And Recovery

Breath monitoring is significant in assessing human body conditions, such as cardiac and pulmonary symptoms. Optical fiber-based sensors have attracted much attention since they are immune to electromagnetic radiation, thus are safe for patients. Here, a microfiber (MF) humidity sensor is fabricated by coating tin disulfide (SnS2) nanosheets onto the surface of MF. The small diameter (~8 μm) and the long length (~5 mm) of the MF promise strong interaction between guiding light and SnS2. Thus, a small variation in the relative humidity (RH) will lead to a large change in optical transmitted power. A high RH sensitivity of 0.57 dB/%RH is therefore achieved. The response and recovery times are estimated to be 0.08 and 0.28 s, respectively. The high sensitivity and fast response speed enable our SnS2-MF sensor to monitor human breath in real time.

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.

PANI coated Cu-ZnS porous microsphere structures have been synthesized by hydrothermal method and in-situ polymerization process. The synthesized composite is characterized by different techniques in order to study the structural, morphological and surface absorption properties. The experimental observation demonstrates that the PANI/1%Cu-ZnS composite has better sensitivity, fast response and good stability as compared to pure PANI and other PANI/CuZnS compositions. Finally, PANI/1% Cu-ZnS composite has been found to be optimized for the humidity sensors due to its well-distributed roughness, porosity and hydrophilicity. The average response and recovery times of the PANI/1% Cu-ZnS are found to be 42 s and 24 s, respectively, which outperform recent results.

In this paper, a high sensitivity and high stability quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) humidity sensor using polydopamine (PDA) coated cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)/graphene oxide (GO) (PDA@CNC/GO) nanocomposite as sensitive material is demonstrated. The PDA@CNC was prepared by the self-polymerization action on the surface of CNC, and it acted as filler material to form functional nanocomposite with GO. The material characteristics of PDA@CNC, CNC/GO and PDA@CNC/GO were analyzed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The experimental results show that the introduction of PDA@CNC into GO film not only effectively enhanced the sensitivity of GO-based nanocomposite-coated QCM sensor but also significantly maintained high stability in the entire humidity range. The PDA@CNC/GO30-coated QCM humidity sensor exhibited a superior response sensitivity up to 54.66 Hz/% relative humidity (RH), while the change rate of dynamic resistance of the sensor in the humidity range of 11.3–97.3% RH is only 14% that is much smaller than that of CNC/GO-coated QCM. Besides, the effect of the PDA@CNC content on the sensitivity and stability of GO-based nanocomposite-coated QCM humidity was also studied. Moreover, other performances of PDA@CNC/GO-coated QCM humidity sensor, including humidity hysteresis, fast response and recovery and long-term stability, were systematically investigated. This work suggests that PDA@CNC/GO nanocomposite is a promising candidate material for realizing high sensitivity and high stability QCM humidity sensor in the entire humidity detection range.

A new type of gas sensor was realized by directly depositing carbon nanotube on nano channels of the anodic alumina oxide (AAO) fabricated on p-type silicon substrate. The carbon nanotubes were synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition at a very high temperature of 1200 oC to improve the crystallinity. The device fabrication process was also developed. The contact of carbon nanotubes and p-type Si substrate showed a Schottky behavior, and the Schottky barrier height increased with exposure to gases while the overall conductivity decreased. The sensors showed fast response and recovery to ammonia gas upon the filling (400 mTorr) and evacuation.
