Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sensors, in particular to a piezoelectric quartz crystal humidity sensor based on an asymmetric nm electrode structure. Background Art
[0002] The quartz crystal microbalance is a highly sensitive micromass sensing platform capable of nanogram-level accuracy. Specific sensitive materials modified on its surface, such as two-dimensional materials, metal oxides, polymers, metal-organic frameworks, and fiber composites, can be used for highly sensitive humidity monitoring. However, many sensing materials (such as polymers and salts) swell when wet, while some (such as hydroxides and polymers) are susceptible to thermal decomposition, leading to failure of the sensitive layer and poor sensor stability.
[0003] Patent CN119334821A proposes a quartz crystal microbalance humidity sensor, its preparation method, and monitoring system. Copper is deposited on the surface of the crystal oscillator electrode on one side of the quartz crystal microbalance. After etching to form copper hydroxide, the heat treatment conditions are adjusted to in-situ prepare a copper oxide material as a humidity-sensitive layer. The heat treatment temperature significantly affects the ratio of the amount of adsorbed oxygen to the amount of lattice oxygen in the copper oxide, i.e., the amount of oxygen vacancies. The heat treatment time significantly affects the adsorption of water molecules by the copper oxide. Copper oxide sensors prepared based on appropriate heating temperatures and times have higher response and sensitivity for humidity detection, significantly outperforming copper hydroxide-based sensors that have not undergone heat treatment.
[0004] In the above technical solution, the humidity sensitive layer is protected by a bionic self-cleaning layer, but some debris or moisture will remain on its surface after each use or when not in use. If it is not cleaned in time, it will easily affect the storage and next use of the device. Utility Model Content
