Abstract

Humidity measurements are crucial in daily life as they influence human comfort, health, safety, and product quality. Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) sensors, known for their fast response times and high sensitivity, offer a significant advantage in humidity sensing due to their ability to provide highly linear and accurate measurements. These sensors are particularly valuable because they enable real-time, precise humidity detection with minimal calibration, making them ideal for various applications. This mini-review highlights the significance of QCM sensors, focusing on the sensing layers made from nanomaterial fillers integrated into composite matrices. Typical QCM sensor surfaces are could be coated with highly conductive materials such as graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and borophene, which offer excellent humidity-sensing capabilities due to their two-dimensional allotrope structure and unique properties of carbon and boron. This review begins with a brief overview of humidity measurement principles and QCM sensor characteristics. It then explores a variety of materials used for preparing QCM sensing layers, discussing their advantages and disadvantages for humidity sensor applications. Finally, the review presents future perspectives on the development of layer-by-layer self-assembled conductive polymeric films, novel GO-based composite QCM humidity sensors, and borophene-based humidity sensors, illustrating their potential for multifunctional composites.

Abstract

Ortam neminin belirlenmesi, insan konforu, sağlığı, güvenliği ve ürün kalitesini doğrudan etkilediği için günlük yaşamda büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Hızlı yanıt süreleri ve yüksek hassasiyetleri ile bilinen Quartz Kristal Mikroteraziler (QCM), nem algılama konusunda yüksek doğrulukla doğrusal ölçümler sağlayabilme yetenekleri sayesinde önemli bir avantaj sunar. Bu sensörler, gerçek zamanlı, hassas nem tespiti yapabilmeleri ve minimum kalibrasyon gerektirmeleri nedeniyle özellikle değerlidir, bu da onları çeşitli uygulamalar için ideal kılar. Bu mini derleme, QCM sensörlerinin önemini vurgulamakta olup, kompozit matrislere entegre edilmiş katkı malzemelerinden karbon ve bor bazlı nanomalzemelerden hazırlanan algılama katmanlarına odaklanmaktadır. Derlemede, grafen, grafen oksit (GO) ve borofen tabanlı malzemelere ağırlık verilecektir. Bu malzemeler, karbon ve borun benzersiz özellikleri ve iki boyutlu allotrop yapıları sayesinde mükemmel nem algılama yetenekleri sunar. Bu derleme, nem ölçüm ilkeleri ve QCM sensör özellikleri hakkında kısa bir genel bakışla başlamakta, ardından QCM algılama katmanlarını hazırlamak için kullanılan çeşitli malzemeleri incelemekte ve bu malzemelerin nem sensörü uygulamalarındaki avantajlarını ve dezavantajlarını tartışmaktadır. Son olarak, derleme, katmanlar arası kendiliğinden montaj edilen iletken polimerik filmler, yenilikçi GO tabanlı kompozit QCM nem sensörleri ve borofen tabanlı nem sensörlerinin geliştirilmesine yönelik gelecekteki perspektifleri sunarak, bunların çok fonksiyonlu kompozitler için potansiyelini ortaya koymaktadır.
