Abstract
As a typical representative of water-soluble fullerene derivatives, fullerenols have been widely used in biomedicine, adsorption, and sensor detection. This paper has studied the structure and composition of commercial fullerenols, which indicate abundant hydrophilic groups exist on the surface of carbon cages to promote the adsorption of water molecules. It is found that the humidity sensor coated with fullerenols has a fast response (19s)/recovery time (12s) and low hysteresis (ΔH ≈ 2.68%RH) at the relative humidity level of 11–97%. The change mechanism of the impedance signal is due to the ions’ formation caused by the adsorption of water molecules. Excellent repeatability and stability are still maintained after a long time of exposure in the air, which displays great application potential.
