In this study, a humidity sensor working at low pressure is demonstrated using SnO2 Quantum Dots(QDs). These QDs possess a large surface area, enabling them to absorb moisture even at low pressure. The correlation between the QDs and humidity sensing is extensively investigated, achieving high reproducibility performance under vacuum for the first time.
The humidity sensor working at low pressure has importance in fruit processing industries, space applications, and vacuum coatings. So, it is imperative to develop a sensor to measure very low levels of humidity in a vacuum domain. In the present work, a resistive humidity sensor made of SnO2 Quantum Dots(QDs) is demonstrated. The huge surface area (160 m2/g) of QDs provides plenty of oxygen vacancies at the surfaces which help to absorb moisture even at a low pressure of-5 mbar starting from the atmospheric pressure. These QDs characterized by XRD, TEM, and optical spectroscopic techniques reveal structural details including the presence of vacancies. The performance of the QDs sensor due to the humidity effect is further proved by flow dry N2 flow. The role of surface hydroxyl groups and their tie-in with RH sensing with high reproducibility performance under vacuum are exclusively highlighted for the first time with SnO2 QDs at room temperature.
