Humidity Sensor Composed of Laser-Induced Graphene Electrode and Graphene Oxide for Monitoring Respiration and Skin Moisture

Respiratory rate and skin humidity are important physiological signals and have become an important basis for disease diagnosis, and they can be monitored by humidity sensors. However, it is difficult to employ high-quality humidity sensors on a broad scale due to their high cost and complex fabrication. Here, we propose a reliable, convenient, and efficient method to mass-produce humidity sensors. A capacitive humidity sensor is obtained by ablating a polyimide (PI) film with a picosecond laser to produce an interdigital electrode (IDE), followed by drop-casting graphene oxide (GO) as a moisture-sensitive material on the electrode. The sensor has long-time stability, a wide relative humidity (RH) detection range from 10% to 90%, and high sensitivity (3862 pF/%RH). In comparison to previous methods, the technology avoids the complex procedures and expensive costs of conventional interdigital electrode preparation. Furthermore, we discuss the effects of the electrode gap size and the amount of graphene oxide on humidity sensor performance, analyze the humidity sensing mechanism by impedance spectrum, and finally perform the monitoring of human respiratory rate and skin humidity change in a non-contact manner.


Introduction
Humidity sensors have a large number of applications in many fields, such as agricultural production, industrial manufacturing, food processing, and environmental monitoring [1][2][3][4]. Humidity sensors have recently been applied to monitor human health [5,6]. With the global spread of the COVID-19 virus, non-contact sensing and respiratory monitoring have become important tools to prevent and control respiratory infectious diseases. The moisture content in breath and skin moisture change can reflect the body's metabolism and health status, so it is especially important to obtain data on changes in respiratory rate and human skin humidity by a non-contact method, which poses a great challenge to the sensitivity, real-time and reliability of humidity sensor.
There are many kinds of humidity sensors, mainly capacitance [7,8], impedance [9,10], current [11], voltage (i.e., self-powered humidity sensors) [12][13][14], fiber optic [15], quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) [16], and resonant surface acoustic wave (SAW) [17]. In terms of power supply systems, humidity sensors can be classified into passive sensors and self-powered sensors. Passive sensors are limited in their application due to the need for an external power supply. Compared to traditional passive sensors, self-powered sensors are of interest because they can be powered. However, during the process of power supply, a redox reaction occurs [14], which reduces the lifetime of the sensor, and the energy storage problem of self-powered sensors is also to be solved. Additionally, mm. The average power of the laser was 50 W, the power percentage was 20%, and the frequency was 200 kHz. Then, the copper wire was glued to the common electrode with conductive silver glue. Finally, the GO solution was drop-coated on the electrode with a pipetting gun. It was dried naturally in the room for 48 h to make a uniform GO film.

Materials Characterizations
A Leica DVM6 depth-of-field (DOF) microscope was used to observe the morphology of GO and LIG. Raman spectra were observed with a Raman spectroscopy (Pioneer Technology RTS2, Bordentown, NJ, USA). Raman excitation source was a laser of 532 nm. The sensor capacitance was measured using an LCR meter (TH2829A, Tonghui Electronic Co. Ltd., Changzhou, China). A high-precision Bluetooth humidity sensor (Jiali Technology Co., Ltd., Chengdu, China) was used to monitor humidity with a humidity accuracy of 1.5% RH and humidity resolution of 0.1% RH. The gas flow rate was controlled by a gas flow controller (LZB-3WB, Shunlaida Measurement Co., Ltd., Nanjing, China).

Humidity Sensing System
As shown in Figure 2, all measurements were performed at 30 °C. The gas coming from the synthetic air (N2: 78%, O2: 22%) bottle was dry gas with a flow rate of 1 L/min, and the gas bubbling through the deionized water was moist gas. The dry gas was mixed with the moist gas in different proportions by adjusting the flow meter to obtain a stable humidity environment. We placed the sensor in the test chamber and measured its capacitance with LCR. The ambient humidity in the test chamber could be measured in real time by a commercial hygrometer. Humidity sensitivity is denoted by the formula S = , where S denotes the sensitivity, CRH denotes the capacitance at RH% humidity, and C0 denotes the capacitance at RH0% humidity. The response and recovery time of the sensor is the time it takes for the sensor capacitance to go from the initial value to 90% of the stable value.

For example, in LIG 150 -60, 150 represents the gap size of 150 µm, and 60 represents 60 µL of GO solution.

For convenience, we named the sensors with different gap sizes and different volumes of GO solution as LIGM-N, where M represents the gap size, and N represents the volume of GO solution. For example, in LIG150-60, 150 represents the gap size of 150 μm, and 60 represents 60 μL of GO solution.  As shown in Figure 3d,g in the absence of GO, the surface is black with a gap in the middle and has more small holes with a diameter of about 3-5 µm. In the process of laser ablation, the laser is emitted at a certain frequency, resulting in a crumpled carbon electrode morphology with layers of stacking accompanied by bulges and small holes. Bulges are caused by PI melting, and holes are caused by PI bulge cracking. The middle gap is formed because the instantaneous power of the laser is so high that it raises the PI film to more than 1000 K, and an explosive phase change occurs, resulting in boiling, vaporization, and decomposition of the polyimide. The high temperature causes carbonization of the PI film, which results in microhumps around the ablation area. From the cross-sectional DOF image in Figure 3h, the carbon layer is about 50 µm higher than the PI film. Figure 3i shows that the PI film becomes a layered structure after drop-casting GO, and the whole electrode has three parts: the bottom layer of yellow PI, the middle layer of a black carbon electrode, and the upper layer of GO. When the GO solution is 30 µL, the GO film is flat, and the gap can be clearly seen, while when the GO solution is 120 µL, the gap becomes blurred, and the GO film is porous, as seen in Figure 3d-f. It confirms that the thickness of the GO layer becomes thicker as the amount of GO increases.
As shown in Figure 4, point (3) is obviously different from points (1) and (2), and point (3) is a typical polyimide characteristic peak [42]. In contrast, points (1) and (2) have distinct peaks characteristic of the carbon structure, i.e., D-peak, G-peak, and 2D-peak, corresponding to positions at 1357 cm −1 , 1580 cm −1 , and 2695 cm −1 . These peaks are identified as a graphene structure, with the D peak representing the amorphous carbon structure and the G peak representing the carbon-carbon bond stretching, which can be considered as a graphite structure. The ratio of 2D to G can be a good indication of the presence of high-quality monolayer graphene. I 2D /I G is 0.5 near the center of the electrode, and it can be inferred that there is a multi-layer graphene with around 4-5 layers [43]. There is no obvious 2D peak in the electrode's edge spectrum, but there are distinct D and G peaks. It indicates the formation of the graphite and amorphous carbon structure. Near the center, the temperature is quite high, and the polyimide decomposes fast, producing higher mass graphene, whereas the edge region has a lower temperature and slower decomposition, producing amorphous carbon and a thicker graphite structure. The presence of graphene enhances the conductivity of the electrode.

The presence of g enhances the conductivity of the electrode.

Comparison of PI-Based Sensors with Different Electrode Gap Sizes
Figure 5a-c shows the humidity response performance of PI-based sensors with different gaps. The capacitance of the sensor decreases gradually with increasing gap size. This phenomenon can be qualitatively explained by the equation C = εε 0 S/d for parallelplate capacitor, where d is the gap size, S is the cross-sectional area of the electrode finger, and ε is the relative permittivity of the interdigital electrodes, ε 0 is the dielectric constant in vacuum, as shown in Figure 5d. Additionally, the capacitance of these sensors increases as the relative humidity rises in Figure 5a-c. ε water is 78.4, which is much higher than 3.4 of ε PI in the electrostatic field. When the humidity rises, the PI film absorbs more water molecules, increasing the dielectric constant of PI film and thus an increase in capacitance. The high dielectric constant of water is because water molecules are polarized in an electric field. This polarization can better respond to the low-frequency electric field. When the frequency of the electric field increases, the polarization speed of water molecules cannot keep up with the change in the direction of the electric field [44,45]. Therefore, the dielectric constant increases more slowly. The capacitive response of the sensor is maximum at 100 Hz. Although the humidity sensor based on PI responds to changes in humidity, its sensitivity is relatively low. Therefore, we enhance the sensitivity of the sensor by applying GO on the surface of the interdigital electrode.

Comparison of GO-Based Sensors with Different Electrode Gap Sizes
For the three gap sizes (50 μm, 150 μm, 360 μm) of GO-based sensors, the drop-coated GO solution is 30 μL, 60 μL, 90 μL, and 120 μL, among which the sensitivity of LIG150-60 is the highest, as seen in Table 1. Figure 6a-d depicts the capacitance response curves of the sensor with a gap size of 150 μm for various GO loadings. It is clear that the smaller the frequency, the higher the capacitance response, which is consistent with PI-based sensors. Therefore, we used a frequency of 100 Hz to evaluate the performance of the sensor. As shown in Figure 6b, when the humidity varies from 10% to 90% RH, the capacitance of LIG150-60 changes from 18.8 pF to 3.09 × 10 5 pF. The sensitivity reaches 3862 pF/%RH,

Figure 6a-d depicts the capacitance response curves of the sensor with a gap size of 150 µm for various GO loadings. It is clear that the smaller the frequency, the higher the capacitance response, which is consistent with PI-based sensors. Therefore, we used a frequency of 100 Hz to evaluate the performance of the sensor. As shown in Figure 6b, when the humidity varies from 10% to 90% RH, the capacitance of LIG 150 -60 changes from 18.8 pF to 3.09 × 10 5 pF. The sensitivity reaches 3862 pF/%RH, which is much greater than that of PI-based sensors. It is not sufficient to explain the change in capacitance by an increase in the dielectric constant between the interdigital electrodes. In addition, the capacitance response increased more significantly at high RH than at low RH. We can try to explain this phenomenon by impedance spectroscopy.  As seen in Figure 6e of the LIG150-60 impedance spectrum, at 10% to 30% humidity, it is an approximate semicircle; the diameter of the semicircle can be used as the internal resistance of the sensor [46], about 100 KΩ to 140 KΩ. Due to a large number of hydrophilic groups on the GO surface [47], water molecules are mostly chemisorbed on the GO surface by hydrogen bonding and cannot move freely. As shown in Figure 6g, the conductivity mainly depends on electrons in the electrode and GO. The increase in capacitance relies mainly on the increase in dielectric constant after the adsorption of water. As the (e) Impedance spectroscopy of LIG 150 -60 measured at different RH levels, inset is enlarged curve. (f) Bode diagram of LIG 150 -60 at different RH levels. (g,h) Schematic illustration of the humidity sensing principle of LIG 150 -60, (g) low humidity less than 40% and (h) high humidity higher than 50%.
As seen in Figure 6e of the LIG 150 -60 impedance spectrum, at 10% to 30% humidity, it is an approximate semicircle; the diameter of the semicircle can be used as the internal resistance of the sensor [46], about 100 KΩ to 140 KΩ. Due to a large number of hydrophilic groups on the GO surface [47], water molecules are mostly chemisorbed on the GO surface by hydrogen bonding and cannot move freely. As shown in Figure 6g, the conductivity mainly depends on electrons in the electrode and GO. The increase in capacitance relies mainly on the increase in dielectric constant after the adsorption of water. As the humidity continues to increase, the first water molecules layer is formed. When the humidity rises to 50%, the diameter of the semicircle continues to decrease, meaning that the internal resistance of the sensor decreases, while a straight line with an approximate 45-degree slope appears in the low-frequency band, indicating the appearance of Warburg impedance, which is caused by the diffusion process of charge carriers at the GO film/electrode interface. At this point, due to the increasing number of water molecules, a physical adsorption layer is formed on the first water molecules layer, as illustrated in Figure 6h. According to the Grotthuss transport mechanism (H 2 O + H 3 O + = H 3 O + + H 2 O), [21,48], hydrated hydrogen ions are formed in the adsorbed layer as conductive carriers, and the capacitance of the sensors depends mainly on the diffusion of hydrated hydrogen ions at the GO membrane/electrode interface. At humidity greater than 80%, multiple layers of physical adsorption have been formed, at which point the semicircle has disappeared, and there is only a straight line, indicating that the sensor performance is mainly determined by the Warburg impedance generated by ion diffusion. The higher the humidity, the more hydrated hydrogen ions are present, and the diffusion capacitance increases sharply. Figure 6f shows the bode diagram of LIG 150 -60 at different humidity levels. From the phase diagram, it can be seen that the phase curves at all humidity levels basically intersect at the position of 100 Hz, which indicates that the phase angle is basically unchanged at 100 Hz regardless of the humidity level. Therefore, the change in impedance at 100 Hz can represent the change in capacitance. At other frequencies, the impedance and phase angle vary with humidity, and the uncertainty increases. The selection of 100 Hz frequency as the test frequency also considers this factor. As can be seen from the impedance diagram in Figure 6f, at 100 Hz, as humidity rises, the impedance also becomes gradually smaller, representing a gradual increase in capacitance, a result that is also consistent with Figure 6b.
To investigate the effect of different gaps and different GO amounts on the performance of the humidity sensor, we measured the capacitive response of the sensor with different parameters, as shown in Figure 7a-c. Figure 7a shows that the sensitivity of the sensor is not monotonically increasing with the amount of GO but has an optimal value. When the GO solution is 60 µL, the capacitive response is the largest, and at 90 µL, the capacitive response becomes smaller instead. This may be because the thickness of GO film increases as the amount of GO increases, resulting in a larger resistance between the carbonized electrode and GO film, making the capacitive response smaller. Figure 7b is similar, and Figure 7c is slightly different, mainly because the area of the electrode with a 360 µm gap size is almost twice as large as that with a 50 µm gap size, resulting in less GO per unit area. Based on the electrode area and the amount of GO, it can be obtained that the capacitive response is better when the amount of GO is 1.45-1.86 µL/mm 2 . The details are shown in Table 1. Figure 7a-c further shows that the sensor with a 50 µm gap is not the most sensitive; rather, the sensor with a wider gap is more sensitive. The sensor with a narrow gap has a limited area, and when the GO solution is 30 µL, there are fewer hydrated hydrogen ions at high relative humidity, resulting in a weak diffusion capacitance. As shown in Figure 7d, the capacitive response is inversely proportional to the gap size at this point. Additionally, when the GO solution is 120 µL, the electrodes with larger gaps produce more hydrated hydrogen ions due to their larger areas, the ion diffusion is enhanced, and the diffusion capacitance grows rapidly at high relative humidity. As seen in Figure 7e, the capacitive response at this time is positively correlated with the electrode gap. In summary, when the amount of GO is little, the sensitivity is inversely related to the electrode gap size, while when the amount of GO is sufficient, the sensitivity is proportional to the electrode gap.
tionally, when the GO solution is 120 μL, the electrodes with larger gaps produce more hydrated hydrogen ions due to their larger areas, the ion diffusion is enhanced, and the diffusion capacitance grows rapidly at high relative humidity. As seen in Figure 7e, the capacitive response at this time is positively correlated with the electrode gap. In summary, when the amount of GO is little, the sensitivity is inversely related to the electrode gap size, while when the amount of GO is sufficient, the sensitivity is proportional to the electrode gap.  Figure 8a shows the capacitive response of LIG 150 -60 experiencing five cycles between 80% and 40% RH, and it can be seen that the adsorption time is 58 s and the desorption time is 15 s. As mentioned above, water molecules will combine with hydrophilic groups and adsorb on the GO surface when the humidity rises. However, the adsorption process is not uniform, and there may be some areas where more water molecules have been adsorbed, while others may not have water molecules yet, which results in the ion diffusion process being hindered. The first layer of chemisorption must be completed on the GO surface, and the Grotthuss effect is produced so that the ions can diffuse sufficiently and the diffusion capacitance can increase rapidly. Additionally, the desorption process is a shift from high to low humidity; at high humidity, a complete layer of physically adsorbed water molecules has formed on the GO surface, but the thickness of the water molecule layer is not uniform. In areas where there are fewer water molecules, the water molecules quickly and completely release from the GO surface. As long as these areas are free of water molecules, the diffusion process is impeded, and the diffusion capacitance is rapidly reduced. Since the area where water molecules need to be released is smaller, the time is also shorter. In the adsorption process, on the other hand, a much larger adsorption area is required to form a complete chemisorption layer on the GO surface. The adsorption time is also much longer. time is 15 s. As mentioned above, water molecules will combine with hydrophilic groups and adsorb on the GO surface when the humidity rises. However, the adsorption process is not uniform, and there may be some areas where more water molecules have been adsorbed, while others may not have water molecules yet, which results in the ion diffusion process being hindered.

In the adsorption process, on the other hand, a much larger adsorption area is required to form a complete chemisorption layer on the GO surface. The adsorption time is also much longer.  As we all know, humidity hysteresis is a key parameter for humidity sensor performance. The black and red curves in Figure 8b represent the water molecule adsorption and desorption curves from 10% to 90% RH, respectively. Maximum hysteresis occurs around 80%, about 1.2%. Furthermore, we measured the capacitance of the LIG 150 -60 sensor weekly for a period of 42 days to evaluate its long-term stability. The capacitance varies very little at each humidity level, which confirms that the sensor has long-term stability, as shown in Figure 8c. Table 2 lists the different types of capacitive humidity sensors that have been recently reported, and our sensor is the most sensitive in terms of sensitivity. However, its response time is longer. From the sensor structure, the proportion of the IDE structure is larger.

Respiratory and Skin Humidity Monitoring
Due to the sensor's superior performance, it can be used for non-contact monitoring of human physiological signals, such as sweating, breathing, and non-contact fingertip techniques. Non-contact sensing is better than contact sense because it prevents sweat from contaminating the sensing surface and allows the sensor to be used repeatedly. Figure 9a is a mask for respiratory monitoring and how the mask is worn. Figure 9b is a photo that monitors sweating on the wrist. Before testing, the sensor needs to be adjusted to a height of 6 cm from the desktop. Then, put your wrist between the desktop and the sensor and keep your wrist motionless during the test. The distance may have an error of 1-2 mm, but it does not affect the trend of the detection curve. Figure 9c depicts nose breathing, while Figure 9d depicts mouth breathing. The nose breathing sensor has a variation of only a dozen nanofarads, while the mouth breathing sensor has a variation of tens of nanofarads, which is a clear difference. Compared with the oral cavity, the nasal cavity is smaller, the water content is less, and the moisture of the exhaled air is lower. Figure 9e shows the capacitance response of the finger after approaching the sensor. As can be seen, a sensor's response varies depending on the proximity distance. For example, a capacitive sensor's response is larger at a proximity distance of 2 mm than it is at a proximity distance of 10 mm. This characteristic has potential applications in non-contact positioning and human-computer interaction. Figure 9f shows the non-contact monitoring of human sweating. Stage 1 represents normal ambient humidity conditions, while stage 2 is the case when the wrist is near the sensor (no contact) and the sensor capacitance changes to about 100 nF. Stage 3 represents the stage when the person drinks water, and the sensor capacitance remains basically unchanged. The fourth stage is when the human body starts to sweat, and the sensor capacitance increases rapidly. The fifth stage is when sweating reaches its peak and the sensor capacitance reaches about 250 nF. The sixth stage is when the wrist leaves. As can be seen, the sensor has a high sensitivity to human body sweat, demonstrating the potential of the sensor for monitoring human physiological processes.   Figure 9f shows the non-contact monitoring of human sweating. Stage 1 represents normal ambient humidity conditions, while stage 2 is the case when the wrist is near the sensor (no contact) and the sensor capacitance changes to about 100 nF. Stage 3 represents the stage when the person drinks water, and the sensor capacitance remains basically unchanged.

The fifth stage is when sweating reaches its peak and the sensor capacitance reaches about 250 nF. The sixth stage is when the wrist leaves. As can be seen, the sensor has a high sensitivity to human body sweat, demonstrating the potential of the sensor for monitoring human physiological processes.

The effects of the electrode gap size and the amount of GO on the performance of GO-based sensors are discussed. The result shows that the sensitivity of the sensor is inversely related to the electrode gap size when the amount of GO is low, and when the amount of GO is large, the sensitivity is proportionate to the electrode gap. Meanwhile, there is an optimal value of the amount of GO, and the sensor is the most sensitive when the drop-coated GO is in the range of 1.45-1.86 µL/mm 2 . Due to the sensor's high sensitivity, rapid response time, and minimal hysteresis, it can monitor human physiological signs, such as breathing and perspiration.
