Abstract
The development of flexible humidity sensors is essential for the advancement of wearable devices and electronic skin. However, the process of preparing these sensors is typically complex, and they often suffer from poor stability and a limited sensing range, which fails to meet the requirements for practical applications. Here, we prepared SnS2 with nanoflower morphology by hydrothermal method, and successfully prepared a high-performance flexible humidity sensor with a high response range (20-95 %) by compositing it with B-TiO2 nanoparticles with oxygen defects after sodium borohydride reduction and coating it on a PET flexible substrate. This sensor demonstrates an exceptional response (753.2 at 90 % RH) in high humidity environments and exhibits rapid response (13 s) and recovery times (19 s). Moreover, the sensor accurately detects human breathing patterns and frequencies, making it suitable for non-contact sensing applications. This research offers valuable insights into the simplified preparation and advancement of flexible humidity sensors.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
