Abstract
A humidity sensor on cellulose paper is demonstrated using single-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized with carboxylic acid. The conductance shift of the nanotube network entangled on the microfibril cellulose is utilized for the humidity sensing. Compared to the control sensor made on a glass substrate, the cellulose-mediated charge transport on the paper substrate enhances the sensitivity. The sensor response exhibits linear behavior up to a relative humidity of 75% with good repeatability and low hysteresis. A simple circuit model is used to explain the sensor results. This approach is a step toward future paper electronics for low-cost disposable applications.
