Abstract

Abstract Sensor devices using different poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) based active layers were fabricated with all solution processes. It was found the devices of pristine PEDOT:PSS presented high response to humidity change, but little response to ammonia (NH3). In contrast, the DMSO doped PEDOT:PSS devices were nearly insensitive to humidity change, and exhibited significantly improved responsivity to NH3. Incorporation of AgNWs into the DMSO doped PEDOT:PSS film further enhanced the responsivity to NH3, while maintaining insensitivity to humidity changes. The mechanisms for such different sensing properties were revealed. Finally, the fabricated NH3 and humidity sensors using different PEDOT:PSS based films were integrated with a near field communication (NFC) chip to realize a flexible system, which was able to be attached on the packaging film for monitoring the meat freshness, with the sensing data being read out wirelessly by a smart phone.
