Breath monitoring is significant in assessing human body conditions, such as cardiac and pulmonary symptoms. Optical fiber-based sensors have attracted much attention since they are immune to electromagnetic radiation, thus are safe for patients. Here, a microfiber (MF) humidity sensor is fabricated by coating tin disulfide (SnS2) nanosheets onto the surface of MF. The small diameter (~8 μm) and the long length (~5 mm) of the MF promise strong interaction between guiding light and SnS2. Thus, a small variation in the relative humidity (RH) will lead to a large change in optical transmitted power. A high RH sensitivity of 0.57 dB/%RH is therefore achieved. The response and recovery times are estimated to be 0.08 and 0.28 s, respectively. The high sensitivity and fast response speed enable our SnS2-MF sensor to monitor human breath in real time.

A novel composite based on a polymer (P(VDF-TrFE)) and a two-dimensional material (graphene flower) was proposed as the active layer of an interdigitated electrode (IDEs) based humidity sensor. Silver (Ag) IDEs were screen printed on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate followed by spin coating the active layer of P(VDF-TrFE)/graphene flower on its surface. It was observed that this sensor responds to a wide relative humidity range (RH%) of 8–98% with a fast response and recovery time of 0.8 s and 2.5 s for the capacitance, respectively. The fabricated sensor displayed an inversely proportional response between capacitance and RH%, while a directly proportional relationship was observed between its impedance and RH%. P(VDF-TrFE)/graphene flower-based flexible humidity sensor exhibited high sensitivity with an average change of capacitance as 0.0558 pF/RH%. Stability of obtained results was monitored for two weeks without any considerable change in the original values, signifying its high reliability. Various chemical, morphological, and electrical characterizations were performed to comprehensively study the humidity-sensing behavior of this advanced composite. The fabricated sensor was successfully used for the applications of health monitoring and measuring the water content in the environment.

PANI coated Cu-ZnS porous microsphere structures have been synthesized by hydrothermal method and in-situ polymerization process. The synthesized composite is characterized by different techniques in order to study the structural, morphological and surface absorption properties. The experimental observation demonstrates that the PANI/1%Cu-ZnS composite has better sensitivity, fast response and good stability as compared to pure PANI and other PANI/CuZnS compositions. Finally, PANI/1% Cu-ZnS composite has been found to be optimized for the humidity sensors due to its well-distributed roughness, porosity and hydrophilicity. The average response and recovery times of the PANI/1% Cu-ZnS are found to be 42 s and 24 s, respectively, which outperform recent results.

The development of a flexible and high-performance humidity sensor is essential to expand its new applications, such as personal health monitoring and early diagnosis. In this work, SnO2/rGO nanocomposites were prepared by one-step hydrothermal method. The effect of rGO-doping on humidity sensing performance was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the nanostructure, morphology and chemical composition of SnO2/rGO nanocomposites. The SnO2/rGO humidity sensitive film was prepared by electrospinning on a polyimide film modified with gold electrodes. The humidity test results show that different doping ratios of rGO have different effects on humidity sensing properties. Among them, the sensor with 2 wt% rGO-doping has a high sensitivity (37,491.2%) within the humidity range as well as the fast response time (80 s) and recover time (4 s). Furthermore, the sensor with 2 wt% rGO-doping remains good flexibility and stability in the case of bending (1000 times). The sensitivity of the 2 wt% rGO-doping sensor at the bending radius (8 mm and 4 mm) is 48,219% and 91,898%, respectively. More importantly, the sensor could reflect different breathing states clearly and track breathing intervals as short as 3 s. The SnO2/rGO flexible humidity sensor with accuracy, flexibility and instantaneity as well as the facile fabrication strategy is conceivable to be applied in the potential application for human health real-time monitoring.
