Abstract

The authors report the growth of CuO nanowires on an oxidized Cu wire and the fabrication of a CuO nanowire humidity sensor. It was found that we could transform a Cu wire into CuO/Cu 2O/Cu core-shell tri-layers covered with high density CuO nanowires by thermal annealing. It was also found that steady state currents of the sensor were about 2.44, 2.32, 2.23, and 2.15 μA, respectively, when measured with 20, 40, 60, and 80% relative humidity. Furthermore, it was found that sensing property of the fabricated device was stable and reproducible.
