  • Patent number: 11435307
    Abstract: A humidity nonsensitive material based on reduced-graphene oxide (r-GO) and methods of making the same are provided. In an embodiment, the material has a resistance/humidity variation of about ?15% to 15% based on different sintering time or temperature. In an aspect, the resistance variation to humidity can be close to zero or ?0.5% to 0.5%, showing a humidity non sensitivity property. In an embodiment, a humidity nonsensitive material based on the r-GO and carbon nanotube (CNT) composites is provided, wherein the ratio of CNT to r-GO is adjusted. The ratio can be adjusted based on the combined contribution of carbon nanotube (positive resistance variation) and reduced-graphene oxide (negative resistance variation) behaviors.
