研究目的
To develop a flexible humidity sensing material based on electrospun PVA nanofibers with surface-carboxylated quantum dots for monitoring ambient humidity, with applications in electronic skin and tactile sensors.
研究成果
The PVA/QDs-COOH nanofiber film exhibits excellent humidity sensing performance with good linearity, wide range, small hysteresis, acceptable response and recovery times, and flexibility. The mechanism involves hydrogen bond breaking/reforming and proton transfer at interfaces. It is suitable for applications in electronic skin and tactile sensors.
研究不足
The response time is 75 s and recovery time is 240 s, which may be slow for some real-time applications. The working temperature should not exceed 80°C due to PL quenching at higher temperatures. The study is limited to laboratory conditions and may require optimization for industrial or commercial use.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves synthesizing CdSe/CdxZn1-xS quantum dots, modifying them with mercaptopropionic acid for water solubility, incorporating them into a PVA matrix, and fabricating nanofiber films via electrospinning. Humidity sensing is based on photoluminescence changes with relative humidity.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples include PVA/QDs-COOH nanofiber films with different QD concentrations (0.07 wt%, 0.14 wt%, 0.28 wt%). Humidity environments are created using a programmable temperature and humidity chamber.

3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Materials include cadmium oxide, selenium, sulfur, trioctylphosphine, oleic acid, 1-octadecene, mercaptopropionic acid, zinc acetate, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate decahydrate, lithium chloride, trichloromethane, acetone, polyvinyl alcohol. Equipment includes transmission electron microscope (TEM, Joel JEM-2001 F), FTIR spectrometer (Thermo Nicolet Nexus), Raman microscope (Renishaw), scanning electron microscope (SEM, JSM-5610LV, HITACHI), universal testing machine (Instron1341, Instron Ltd.), fluorometer (RF-5301 PC), thermogravimetric analysis instrument (STA449F3), electrospinning setup with syringe and aluminum plate.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis of QDs involves dissolving Se and S in TOP, reacting with CdO and Zn(Ac)2 in oleic acid and ODE under N2, injection of precursors, and cooling. QDs are purified and modified with MPA. PVA is dissolved in water, mixed with QDs-COOH, and electrospun at 15 kV, 0.5 mL/h flow rate, 45°C, humidity below 40%. Humidity sensing involves placing films in a chamber at various RH values, measuring PL spectra after stabilization, and in-situ monitoring for response and recovery times.
