Abstract

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were synthesized and incorporated with polyethylenedioxythiophene:poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), Ag nanowires (AgNWs) to form a composite that can be used for enhancement of relative humidity (RH%) sensing. The composite films contained bulk heterojunctions of AgNW/GQD and AgNW/PEDOT:PSS. The sensors made from the composites responded well to relative humidity in a range from 10% to 50% at room temperature. With an AgNWs content ranging from 0.2 wt.% to 0.4 wt.% and 0.6 wt.%, the sensitivity of the relative humidity sensing devices based on AgNWs-doped GQDs+PEDOT:PSS composites was increased from 5.5% to 6.5 % and 15.2 %, respectively. The response time of the composite sensors was much improved due to AgNWs doping in the composites. For the 0.6 wt.% AgNWs-doped GQDs+PEDOT:PSS films, the best value of the recovery time was found to be of 30 s.
