With the rapid development and application of smart homes, sensors known as 'neurons' have become more and more important in this field. In response to the demand for relative humidity parameter in home monitoring, a flexible relative humidity sensor based on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and interdigital electrode for smart homes was designed and prepared in this paper. The base of the interdigital electrode structure was polyimide, and the RGO film was prepared by a spraying process. A test system for the relative humidity sensor with different saturated salt solutions was also built. The test results show that the sensor resistance and relative humidity have a linear relationship in the range of 24.6% RH-82.9% RH, and the linearity is as high as 0.987. The sensitivity of the sensor is 0.51 kΩ/% RH. The relative humidity sensor with the characteristics of flexibility and high sensitivity will have broad application prospects and value in the field of smart homes.
Environmental monitoring plays an important role in the preventive protection of ancient buildings, although it is still in the prototype stage. In order to provide data support for the protection of ancient buildings, an environmental monitoring system with multi-sensor and multi-node for the interior and exterior of ancient buildings is designed and realized, based on ZigBee, TCP/IP, and intranet penetration technology. The new type of indoor node package box and outdoor package device are designed to meet the needs of different types of sensors. The monitoring platform is developed on the strength of the LabView so as to obtain real-time display, storage, and over-limit warning functions for local and remote monitoring data. It also proves that the monitoring system is stable and reliable by monitoring the actual ancient building with a brick (stone) structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
