Abstract

Abstract : We provide a general crystalline-phase-induced strategy for the fabrication of fibre-in-tube TiO2 –SnO2 materials for a high-sensitivity humidity sensor. Abstract : Fibre-in-tube TiO2 –SnO2 fibres (FIT-TSF) have been successfully fabricated via a general crystalline-phase-induced formation strategy. The as-prepared FIT-TSF exhibited excellent sensing properties with an impedance change of three orders of magnitude, an ultrafast response time of 5 s, a recovery time of 8 s, and good reproducibility.
