Cover Story: In this paper, we investigate humidity sensing through impedance measurements with TiO2 nanoparticles (about 6 nm in diameter) that are also functionalized with Au nanoparticles. The transient behavior and the impedance spectra are measured and interpreted from the theoretical point of view. Large responses are shown, especially in the relative humidity range 30%–80%, which are essentially explained by condensation in the nanopores. The addition of Au allows for the sensing film response and recovery time to be dramatically reduced, and it seems to favor condensation for RH larger than 70%. The obtained results relate the sensing performance of the nano-structured film to the phenomena occurring during water adsorption, as well as its effect on the electron and ion transports and the film characteristics.
