Abstract

A humidity sensor is provided. The humidity sensor comprises a hydrogel made from hydrophilic polymer and carbon nitride dots embedded in the hydrogel. The carbon nitride dots generate a colorimetric response in visible light in response to absorption of moisture by the hydrogel. Conversely, the colorimetric response of the carbon nitride dots reverses in response to loss of moisture in the hydrogel. Changes in humidity can be detected according to the colorimetric response of the carbon nitride dots in the hydrogel.
