TiO(2)/LiCl-based nanostructured thin film for humidity sensor applications.
    ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2011, Volume: 3, Issue:2

    A simple and straightforward method of depositing nanostructured thin films, based on LiCl-doped TiO(2), on glass and LiNbO(3) sensor substrates is demonstrated. A spin-coating technique is employed to transfer a polymer-assisted precursor solution onto substrate surfaces, followed by annealing at 520°C to remove organic components and drive nanostructure formation. The sensor material obtained consists of coin-shaped nanoparticles several hundred nanometers in diameter and less than 50 nm thick. The average thickness of the film was estimated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) to be 140 nm. Humidity sensing properties of the nanostructured material and sensor response times were studied using conductometric and surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor techniques, revealing reversible signals with good reproducibility and fast response times of about 0.75 s. The applicability of this nanostructured film for construction of rapid humidity sensors was demonstrated. Compared with known complex and expensive methods of synthesizing sophisticated nanostructures for sensor applications, such as physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD), this work presents a relatively simple and inexpensive technique to produce SAW humidity sensor devices with competitive performance characteristics.

Highly sensitive and stable humidity nanosensors based on LiCl doped TiO2 electrospun nanofibers.
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2008, Apr-16, Volume: 130, Issue:15

    A new type of humidity nanosensor based on LiCl-doped TiO2 nanofibers with poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) nanofibers as sacrificial template has been fabricated through electrospinning and calcination. The sensor exhibited excellent sensing characteristics, such as ultrafast response and recovery times, good reproducibility, linearity, and environmental stability, which are of importance for applications in humidity monitoring and control.
