However, most of humidity sensors cannot provide performance needed for high sensitivity and fast response. We report one type of capacitive-type humidity sensors composed of laser-scribed graphene(LSG) as sensing electrodes and graphene oxide/tin dioxide(GO/SnO2) as a sensing layer. The LSG is reduced graphene oxide(rGO) electrodes resulted from selective reducing of GO within a GO/SnO2 composite layer by laser scribing method, and the sensing layer is the un-scribed GO/SnO2 composite. The sensor fabrication is a one-step process which is facile and cost-efficient. When a mass ratio of GO:SnO2 in the composite reaches 1:1, the humidity sensor(named as LSG-GS1) has the best properties than other ratios, which exhibits high sensitivity in the range of 11%~97% relative humidity(RH). In addition, the LSG-GS1 also has very quick response/recovery time(20 s for adsorption and 18 s for desorption) when RH changes from 23% to 84%, and very good stability after monitoring for 41 days. Such excellent performances of the humidity sensor can be attributed to synergistic effect of SnO2 and GO within the composite layer.展开更多
