摘要

Numerous efforts, have been made to achieve higher efficiency in humidity sensors through the use of nanomaterials. Among these, two-dimensional nanomaterials have played a prominent role in enhancing the performance of such sensors. The utilization of various lasers operating at different wavelengths plays a pivotal role in activating humidity-sensing mechanisms, and the synergy between relative humidity (RH) and light irradiation leads to amplified sensing responses in nanomaterials. In the present research, g-C3N4 nanosheets and GO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite were prepared by sonochemical exfoliation. The physical properties of these 2D nanomaterials were investigated using different characterization techniques. Subsequently, humidity sensors based on these materials were fabricated on Si/SiO2 substrates. The study compared the humidity sensing capabilities of g-C3N4 nanosheets and GO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite at dark conditions, as well as when exposed to laser light at different wavelengths. The results indicate that the light-activated humidity sensor made from GO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite performs better under 660 nm laser irradiation across different RHs, compared to other wavelengths. Furthermore, under light irradiation, the response and recovery times of the nanocomposite were obtained as 0.5 s and 1 s, respectively, indicating superiority irradiation of nanocomposite under 660 nm wavelength in different RHs of 40% and 80% compared to the dark condition. This pioneering study marks the first empirical validation that the GO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite sensor surpasses its pristine g-C3N4 counterpart for light-activated humidity-sensing applications.
