Cover Story: This work investigates the moisture sensing performance of a carbon nanotube (CNT) network-based material using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors. To this aim, quartzes functionalized with different amounts of sensing material were realized, exposed to different humidity levels, and characterized. First, the water adsorption and desorption on single-wall carbon nanotube networks are discussed, and subsequently, the behavior of QCM-based measurements is deeply investigated. Based on the QCM equivalent electrical circuit, a model predicting a non-linear behavior for the CNT-functionalized sensor is proposed, and numerical simulations are used for predicting the vibrational behavior of functionalized QCMs, accounting for the effect of different water adsorption mechanisms: chemisorption, physisorption, and capillary condensation.
