High performance humidity sensors based on electrospinning CuO nanofibers on GZO/glass substrates


This research proposed high-performance CuO nanofibers-based humidity sensors. The CuO nanofiber was prepared through electrospinning and calcination processes, and then the mixture was drop-cast on GZO thin films coated on glass substrates. The calcined CuO nanofibers demonstrated a rough surface and had many nanoholes that were beneficial to the captured water molecules. The diameter of the calcined CuO nanofibers ranged from 107 to 288 nm. After X-ray diffraction analysis, the calcined nanofiber had a monoclinic structure of CuO. GZO thin films with interdigitated electrodes formed by ultraviolet laser patterning. The performance of the 12 %-CuO nanofibers-based humidity sensor exhibited the highest sensitivity of 0.752 MΩ/%RH.

Furthermore, the 12 %-CuO humidity sensor measured at a frequency of 20 Hz had the largest variation range. The maximum hysteresis and response/recovery time were about 5.69 % at 43 % RH and 1.5/10.2 s, respectively. This indicated that the sensor demonstrated small hysteresis and a rapid response and recovery speed. In addition, the sensor had a discernible dynamic response under different RHs and good repeatability. The impedance RSD was 2.27 %, 7.79 %, and 6.25 % as the sensor was measured at 11 %, 54 %, and 97 % RHs, respectively, revealing good long-term stability. The proposed sensor was applied in functional applications of non-contact switches and hygrometers.

Characteristics of CuO nanofibers


PVA/Cu(CH3COO)2·H2O solutions with 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 wt% Cu(CH3COO)2·H2O ratios were prepared using electrospinning technology. Fig. 3 reveals the surface morphologies of PVA/Cu(CH3COO)2·H2O nanofibers. The diameter of these nanofibers ranges from 250 to 660 nm. The nanofibers demonstrate a smooth surface with crisscross structures. Fig. 4 reveals the micrographs of PVA/Cu(CH3COO)2·H2O nanofibers after calcination at 500 °C for 1 h. The PVA in PVA/Cu(CH3COO)2·H2O nanofibers was removed.

This research presented high-performance humidity sensors based on electrospinning CuO nanofibers on GZO/glass substrates. The humidity sensor based on 12 %-CuO nanofibers demonstrated the highest sensitivity of 0.752 MΩ/%RH. Moreover, the 12 %-CuO humidity sensor measured at a frequency of 20 Hz had the largest variation range. Maximum hysteresis and tp/tc were approximately 5.69 % at 43 % RH and 1.5/10.2 s, respectively. This indicated that the sensor demonstrated small hysteresis and a rapid.

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...

Multi-Modal Data

Multi-Task Federated Split Learning Across Multi-Modal Data with Privacy Preservation With the advancement of federated learning (FL), there is a growing demand for schemes that support multi-task learning on multi-modal data while ensuring robust privacy protection, especially in applications like intelligent connected vehicles. Traditional FL schemes often struggle with the complexities introduced by multi-modal data and diverse task requirements, such as increased communication overhead and computational burdens. In this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving scheme for multi-task federated split learning across multi-modal data (MTFSLaMM). Our approach leverages the principles of split learning to partition models between clients and servers, employing a modular design that reduces computational demands on resource-constrained clients. To ensure data privacy, we integrate differential privacy to protect intermediate data and employ homomorphic encryption to safeguard client m...

Quantum Network Nodes

An operating system for executing applications on quantum network nodes The goal of future quantum networks is to enable new internet applications that are impossible to achieve using only classical communication . Up to now, demonstrations of quantum network applications  and functionalities   on quantum processors have been performed in ad hoc software that was specific to the experimental setup, programmed to perform one single task (the application experiment) directly into low-level control devices using expertise in experimental physics.  Here we report on the design and implementation of an architecture capable of executing quantum network applications on quantum processors in platform-independent high-level software. We demonstrate the capability of the architecture to execute applications in high-level software by implementing it as a quantum network operating system-QNodeOS-and executing test programs, including a delegated computation from a client to a server ...
