Abstract
Ti3C2Tx MXene is an emerging two-dimensional material that has good potential in relative humidity (RH) measurement because of its unique layer structure, strong hydrophilic nature, and large specific surface area. Here, a high-performance RH sensor integrating Ti3C2TX MXene nanosheets and U-shaped tapered no-core fiber (UTNCF) is proposed. The sensing principle is based on mode interference. The change of ambient RH leads to the change of the refractive index (RI) of Ti3C2Tx MXene, which eventually leads to the shift of the transmission spectrum of the sensing probe. The average sensitivity is 1.11 nm/%RH in the RH range of 45% to 80%, and the response time is 25 ms. The proposed micro-nano fiber RH sensor has the advantages of high sensitivity, fast response, good repeatability, and stability. In addition, the proposed sensor has a broad application prospect in human respiratory monitoring, industrial and agricultural production, and environmental monitoring.
