Abstract

The influence of humidity on the conductivity of graphite oxide (GO) films has been considered. Graphite oxide films of a 200–500 nm thickness become conductors to have a conductivity of 10−6 to 10−2 S/cm when humidity increases from 30 to 100%. Film morphology varies during the course of water diffusion. Ultraviolet light-mediated reduction of GO decreases the sensitivity to humidity until its complete disappearance.
