Though power conversion efficiencies of perovskite solar cells of over 21% have been reported, the degradation of the performance of these cells in the presence of moisture still inhibits the commercialization of these otherwise promising devices. Herein, we decided to utilize the moisture sensitivity of perovskite materials and fabricate a moisture detector based on high-quality CH3NH3PbI3-xClx nanosheet arrays. The resulting devices present a high sensitivity towards humidity with device resistance significantly dropping from 1.28 x 10(8) Omega at 30% relative humidity (RH) to 7.39 x 10(4) Omega at 90% RH and a response even faster than that of the commercial psychrometer. Moreover, our device showed good reversibility and impressive specificity. Thus, the humidity sensitivity of perovskites, while disadvantageous for solar cell applications, was found to be quite applicable in a new field.
