Humidity sensor - Abstract:
- Capacitive humidity sensors based on laser-induced graphene (LIG) were fabricated by using the CO2 laser to scribe on the commercial polyimide thin film (thickness = 50µm). The laser-ablated region of the polyimide turns into a porous structure with carbon as the main composition. Raman spectra and scanning electron microscope were used to characterize the LIG’s chemical and morphology. Patterning LIG into the interdigitated electrode (IDE) to serve as both the electrode and sensing materials was achieved in one step. The proposed flexible humidity sensor demonstrates the sensitivity of 10% and response/recovery time of 109s/13.5s, respectively. In general, a promising humidity sensor with improved response/recovery time and good sensitivity can be fabricated in an easy, fast, and low-cost manner.
