Abstract

Open porous multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) film networks were used as an upper electrode of polyimide (PI)-based capacitive humidity sensor for highly fast response time. MWCNT films were deposited by spray-dry method and patterned by O <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> plasma. PI capacitive humidity sensors with MWCNT film electrodes showed a very short response time of less than 3 s and a good linearity of 0.9995 compared to the humidity sensors with porous Cr electrodes. The large improvement in response time was explained on the base of a percolated pore network that is more accessible for water molecules.
