In the present work, a comparative study on eco-friendly synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) sample 1 and sample 2 with 3.17 and 4.17 M NaOH, respectively, is reported.
The study investigates how impedance changes with humidity levels ranging from 20-90% using a polymer synthesized from varying amounts of graphene oxide (GO) mixed with polyaniline, measured across frequencies from 100 Hz to 5 MHz.
An electrochemical deposition method was used to create a film on an indium tin oxide glass slide, demonstrating that higher humidity leads to lower impedance values, indicating an inverse relationship between the two.
The GO-based humidity sensors exhibit a remarkable sensitivity of 75-99%, significantly outperforming traditional platinum capacitive sensors by about ten times, along with quick response and recovery times, making GO a promising material for advanced humidity sensing.
