Abstract EN
Nanosized CeO2 powders were synthesized via hydrothermal method with different types of surfactants (polyethylene glycol (PEG), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS)).
X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy were utilized to characterize the phase structures and morphologies of the products.
The sample with CTAB as surfactant (CeO2-C) has the largest specific surface area and the smallest particle size among these three samples.
The humidity sensor fabricated by CeO2-C shows higher performance than those used CeO2-P and CeO2-S.
The impedance of the CeO2-C sensor decreases by about five orders of magnitude with relative humidity (RH) changing from 15.7 to 95%.
The response and recovery time are 7 and 7 s, respectively.
These results indicate that the performance of CeO2 humidity sensors can be improved effectively by the addition of cationic surfactant.
