Abstract
This study aimed to prepare high-performance flexible and power-generation humidity sensors based on lithium chloride (LiCl) coated on laser-induced porous graphene (LIPG). LIPG was produced on the polyimide film (PI) as a substrate through an ultraviolet laser processing system. By using a primary cell structure, the humidity sensor consisted of Cu and Al electrodes and a LiCl active layer. Humidity sensors based on LiCl/LIPG composites were manufactured using a LiCl concentration of 1.5 mol/L, a PI microdrilling spacing of 1.5 mm, and an electrode gap of 1 mm due to their highest regression coefficient of 0.9866 for output voltage versus relative humidity (HR), the shortest response/recovery times of 17.1/24 s, and maximum response of 0.77 V, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed sensor demonstrated an excellent sensitivity of 8.12 mV/%RH, a small hysteresis of 5.66 % RH, a high long-term stability, high repeatability, and high bendability. In this study, the self-powered sensor was used for the application of non-contact switches and power generation. In addition, this research provided facile and practical technology to fabricate flexible and self-powered humidity sensors.
