Abstract

$TiO_{2}-Co_{3}O_{4}$ humidity sensors were fabricated by conventional ceramic process and their humid sensing characteristics were investigated. The sample which was added 10wt% $Co_{3}O_{4}$ and heat-treated $1200^{\circ}C$ showed the highest sensitivity to humidity changes and improved a linearity. As $Co_{3}O_{4}$ content was increasing, the sensor consists a uniform pore distribution and grain in the surface. This was analyzed by SEM photographs.
