Summary: TiO2/KNbO3 nanocomposite was prepared by a two-step hydrothermal method, and impedance-type sensors based on TiO2/KNbO3, TiO2, and KNbO3 were fabricated. The TiO2/KNbO3-based sensor exhibited a large impedance change over 5 orders of magnitude, which was 1-2 orders of magnitude larger than that of TiO2- and KNbO3-based sensors. The improved humidity sensing performance of the TiO2/KNbO3 nanocomposite was attributed to the heterojunction at the TiO2/KNbO3 interface and the Grotthuss mechanism. This study highlights the significance of the two-step hydrothermal method in fabricating high-purity nanocomposites with excellent humidity sensing performance.
