abstract = {Humidity affects living organisms and non-living objects on
the planet, measuring it is essential. Graphene flake
networks are promising candidates for humidity sensing and
their fabrication is scalable. However, the road to
high-performance commercial sensors is challenging. Graphene
flake networks consist of randomly distributed graphene
flakes that are capable of forming continuous conductive
paths. They are fabricated by depositing dispersions
containing graphene flakes onto a substrate. The deposition
method strongly influences the resulting uniformity of the
flake network, which is key to performance. Furthermore, the
electrical properties of such networks are determined by the
random flake distribution and other random and often not
fully controllable features such as flake morphology, flake
size, and defect density. Understanding these is critical to
determine electrical behavior and sensing performance. This
work presents a thorough and statistical characterization of
three different types of graphene flakes and the networks
they form after spin-coating deposition. The
characterization includes structural and electrical aspects
and the correlation between the two. The structural
characterization comprises aspects such as flake size, flake
structural disorder, flake and flake network morphology, and
flake network adhesion. The electrical characterization was
enabled by measurement setups that were developed and
validated from scratch. In addition, a novel device
fabrication method for graphene flake devices was
demonstrated that yields highly uniform graphene flake
networks. The electrical characterization aimed to
understand the behavior of sheet resistance, electrical
noise, and Hall mobility. The results highlight the role of
flake-to-flake junctions and flake structure. Finally, a
humidity sensor was fabricated, characterized, and
optimized, showing a linear response with low detection
limit and suppressed resistance drift.},
