▎ 摘 要
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were prepared using a single-step hydrothermal treatment of glucose (C6H12O6) powder. X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the random stacking or amorphous character of GQDs. Additionally, the UV-vis spectra confirmed the formation of GQDs with evident absorption peaks at 237 and 305 nm, which is attributed to pi- pi* and n- pi* transitions correspondingly. The average size and surface roughness of graphene quantum dots were estimated by atomic force microscopy images and found to be 27.0 +/- 1.0 and 2.3 nm, respectively. Afterwards, the effect of increasing relative humidity (RH) from 0%-95%, and frequency, was analyzed using the capacitive and resistive responses of synthesized GQDs. The capacitive output at 0.1 kHz revealed that initially capacitance remains constant (15.0 +/- 1.0 pF) up to a humidity level ranging between 0%-50%. Likewise, capacitance also displayed stabilized behavior after frequency levels were increased i.e., 1.0 and 10 kHz, at a humidity ranging from 0%-55%. Moreover, capacitance showed a 115,455, 22,480 and 3,620% improvement from their stable values at each respective frequency level i.e., 0.1, 1.0 and 10 kHz. The capacitive sensitivity decreased to 84.20 and 96.83% at greater frequencies (1.0 and 10 kHz) in comparison to the sensitivity at 0.1 kHz facing similar variations in a humid environment. In contrast, resistance displayed an exponential decline by 99.9900, 99.9796 and 99.9925%, accordingly, when RH increases from 0 to 95% at 0.1, 1.0 and 10 kHz, respectively. However, with the rise in frequency level from 0.1 to 1.0 kHz, resistive sensitivity increased considerably to 69 and 158.5%, respectively, in two prominent humidity ranges i.e., 0
