Abstract
This paper reports an ultrasensitive capacitive humidity sensor for low-humidity detecting environment, which employs SnO2-modified MoS2 (SnO2/MoS2) hybrid nanocomposite film as sensing layer and interdigital electrodes with narrow gap of 15 μm on sapphire substrate. The testing results show that the sensor of SnO2/MoS2 (10: 1) composite has the best sensitivity of 387.5 μF/%RH at the humidity range of 0–20% relative humidity (RH). To our best knowledge, this sensitivity value is higher than that of all reported humidity sensors at low-humidity range. Moreover, the humidity sensor also has fast response (15s), little hysteresis and good repeatability.
