In this paper, Mg-doped black ZnO microspheres with the characteristics of large surface area and surface oxygen vacancies were synthesized using the sol-gel method. The humidity sensing behavior of the Mg-doped ZnO for relative humidity (RH) from 11% to 95% was measured at room temperature. The superior humidity sensing performance recorded for Mg-doped ZnO microspheres (1.5 mol%) exhibits a dramatic change of impedance of about four orders of magnitude, excellent sensing linearity, small hysteresis (4.1%), a fast sensing response time of as low as 24 s, and a recovery time of 12 s. Our studies demonstrate that Mg dopant can significantly enhance the humidity sensing performance of black ZnO. This benefits from the Mg-doped ZnO (1.5 mol%) microspheres having a high level of surface adsorption and the abundant oxygen vacancies on the surface. Such a new material could be very useful to develop simple and high-performance humidity sensors for future applications in varying commercial fields and industries.

This paper reports on a nanocomposite synthesized by sol–gel procedure comprising graphene sheets with hollow spheres of titanium dioxide (G/HS-TiO2) with varying weight percentages of graphene for the purpose of humidity sensors. The surface morphology of the nanocomposite was characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The structural properties were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The response to 12–80% RH at room temperature exhibited sensitivity (S = 135). However, the relative humidity range of 12–90% at room temperature exhibited higher sensitivity (S = 557). Sensors fabricated using the proposed nanocomposite exhibited high sensitivity to humidity, high stability, rapid response times, and rapid recovery times with hysteresis error of less than 1.79%. These results demonstrate the outstanding potential of his material for the monitoring of atmospheric humidity. This study also sought to elucidate the mechanisms underlying humidity sensing performance.
