Abstract
In this article, molybdenum disulfide (MoS
2
)/cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) nanocomposites are coated on silver electrodes of the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) by the drop-coating method for humidity sensing. The performance of QCM humidity sensors of MoS
2
, CNC, and MoS
2
/CNC thin films is investigated in the relative humidity (RH) range of 11.31%–97.59%. The experimental results reveal that MoS
2
/CNC humidity sensor has high sensitivity (ca. 36.03 Hz/%RH), which is higher than CNC (ca. 1.25 times) and MoS
2
(ca. 2.5 times). Meanwhile, the sensor has excellent repeatability, high stability, and low humidity hysteresis (ca. 3.3%RH). Moreover, the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model is also used to investigate the humidity-sensitive mechanism of MoS
2
/CNC humidity sensors. In addition, MoS
2
/CNC humidity sensor can be well applicable for respiration monitoring which has good application prospect.
