Abstract

Mesoporous materials are widely used in several fields, such as energy storage, catalysis, and humidity sensors. In this study, ordered mesoporous silicon SBA-15 is used as a template to prepare CMK-3 mesoporous carbon materials with specific surface areas greater than 1 000 m2/g using a nanocasting method. The carbon materials are then modified by carboxyl functionalisation using ammonium persulfate. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), small-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) nitrogen adsorption and desorption methods are used to characterise the materials. Results show that both before and after functionalisation, CMK-3 mesoporous carbon materials have favourable ordered mesoporous structures. Using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) test platform, the humidity sensing performances of the materials are tested. Results show that after carboxyl functional modification, the materials exhibit a high response to different humidity environments, and their humidity response is clearly enhanced. Particularly in a 97% RH high-humidity environment, a remarkable response of as high as 1 600 Hz is obtained, which proves beneficial to the application of CMK-3 humidity sensitive materials in high-humidity environments.
