Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of humidity sensitive elements and their preparation, in particular to a halloysite nanotube-based humidity sensor and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The development of humidity measurement technology has a history of more than 200 years. People's understanding of the humidity sensor began in 1938 when F.W.Dummore in the United States successfully developed the dip-coated LiCl humidity sensor. Since then, there have been dozens of humidity sensors and sensors. Came into being. [0003] Relative humidity is an important environmental parameter in household, industrial, agricultural and medical places. It is necessary to develop high-performance and low-cost humidity sensors to monitor it accurately. [0004] The humidity sensor refers to a device-type device that can convert humidity into an electrical output that is proportional to it. The main characteristic parameters are hum...
