Abstract

In this paper, a fast-response colorimetric humidity sensor based on silver-nanoparticle (AgNP) enhanced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thin-film interferometer is reported. The AgNPs are directly printed on a titanium dioxide (TiO2) capped quartz substrate via precision photoreduction technology. Compared with a single layer of PVA film, this PVA-AgNP-TiO2 structure displays more brilliant and abundant colors. The colorimetric sensor can rapidly respond to humidity change in air, and the measured rise time of response is 87 ms. Such fast-response colorimetric sensors have great potential for many applications, such as breath analysis and smartphone camera-based biochips.
