Abstract

In this study, an efficient way of fabricating a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) patterned temperature sensor and its sensing properties was demonstrated. The sensor device was fabricated by drop casting the GO solution directly on the platinum interdigital electrodes (Pt-IDE) and was allowed to dry and then heated at about 400oC for few minutes then followed by hydrazin vapor treatment. Profilometrry, UV-VIS spectroscopy and Hall effect measurement was used to characterize the structural properties of this device. The temperature sensing properties of rGO were meassured from 35- 150 oC and it was found that the resistance decreases exponentially with increasing temperatrure which is similar to that of a standard thermistor. The high sensivity, stability and repeatability of the rGO sensor observed are favourable for its patterned temperature sensing applications.
