Abstract In the present work, ferrite (Fe) doped TiO2 thin films with different volume percentage (vol%) were synthesized using a spray pyrolysis technique. The effect of Fe doping on structural properties such as crystallite size, texture coefficient, microstrain, dislocation densities etc. were evaluated from the X ray diffratometry (XRD) data. XRD data revealed a polycrystalline anatase TiO2 phase for sample synthesized up to 2 vol% and mixed anatase and rutile crystalline phase for sample synthesized at 4 vol% Fe doped TiO2. The crystalline size was observed to decrease with increase in Fe dopant vol% and also other structural parameters changes with Fe dopant percentage. In the present work, electrical resistance was observed to decrease with a rise in Fe dopant vol% and temperature of the sample. Thermal properties like temperature coefficient of resistance and activation energy also showed strong correlation with Fe dopant vol%. Humidity sensing properties of the synthesized sample altered with a change in Fe dopant vol%. In the present paper, maximum sensitivity of about 88.7% for the sample synthesized with 2 vol% Fe doped TiO2 and also the lowest response and recovery time of about 52 and 3 s were reported for the same sample.

LiCl doped titania (TiO2) hollow nanofibers were prepared by using polylactide (PLA) nanofibers as templates. The morphology and crystal structure of the TiO2hollow nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The as-prepared LiCl doped TiO2hollow nanofibers exhibited a good humidity-sensing property. During the relative humidity (50%-95%) measurement, the response and recovery time is about 3 and 4 s, separately, with good linearity. The relationship between the humidity-sensing properties and the structure of the hollow nanofibers was also discussed. These distinguished and sensitive sensing performances make this material a good candidate in fabricating humidity sensors.

The mesoporous silica SBA-15 and mesoporous K2CO3-SiO2composite material were synthesized. Characterization of microstructure and morphology of materials indicated that the composite material had saved the porous framework of mesoporous silica SBA-15. Humidity sensing properties of different inverse proportion K2CO3-SiO2composite material were studied and we found that the sample with 0.16 g/g K2CO3exhibited excellent linearity in the wide humidity range. The complex impedance changed five orders of magnitude from 11% RH to 95% RH. The rapid response and recovery time were 10 s and 38 s, respectively. Finally a feasible ion transfer mechanism was brought forward to explain the sensing mechanism.

In this paper, the humidity sensing properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified with LiClO 4 was investigated. FTIR spectra showed that the ends of carbon nanotubes purified with nitric acid was opened and saturated with carboxylic acid groups and carboxylate groups. For comparison, the humidity sensing characteristics of four elements, MnWO 4 (Hubnerite), BaTiO 3 (Perovskite), NiWO 4 (Huberite), ZnCr 2 O 4 (Spinel) were discussed. Experimental data showed that LiClO 4/ MWNTs element exhibited excellent humidity sensing properties, that is, the response time can reach 7 min, the recovery time within 1 min and its sensitivity up to 35 000. Also, it was found that a small increase in resistance of pure MWNTs disappeared during the first few minutes after exposure to water by modifying with LiClO 4. The static and dynamic measurements showed that WMNTs / LiClO 4 sensing element exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity to water vapor.
