Abstract
For the humidity sensing, rGO/Fe2O3 nanocomposites were synthesized via an ultrasonic-assisted method, utilizing Hummers' and co-precipitation techniques for rGO and Fe2O3 synthesis. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of rGO and rhombohedral Fe2O3 NPs, while SEM revealed varied (rough sheet-like and dense compact) morphologies. UV–VIS spectra indicated characteristic absorption peaks for rGO, Fe2O3 NPs, and their NCs. In addition, FTIR spectra validated graphene oxide reduction and Fe2O3 NPs/NCs formation. Humidity sensing was assessed across 40–80 % RH at varying frequencies (100 Hz-10 kHz), with 100 Hz identified as the optimal frequency due to water molecule polarization limitations at higher frequencies. The rGO/Fe2O3 (70/30) NC exhibited a rapid response recovery time (5 s/10 s) and high sensitivity (2715.541 %), attributed to additional active sites provided by Fe2O3, enhancing water molecule adsorption and sensor sensitivity. The sensors demonstrated long-term stability and repeatability, showcasing promising potential for humidity sensing applications.
