摘要
The humidity sensitive characteristics of a sensor fabricated from flower-like ZnO nanorods by screen-printing on a ceramic substrate with Ag-Pd interdigital electrodes have been investigated. The sensor shows high humidity sensitivity, rapid response and recovery, small hysteresis, and good stability. It is found that the impedance of the sensor decreases by about five orders of magnitude with increasing relative humidity (RH) from 11 to 95%. The response and recovery time of the sensor is about 5 and 10s, respectively. These results indicate that the flower-like ZnO nanorods can be used in fabricating high-performance humidity sensors.
