Humidity sensors provide environmental conditions suitable for several applications. However, they suffer from a limited reliable range originating from the low electrical conductivity and low water-sensitive sites of humidity-sensing materials. In this study, we developed high-sensitivity humidity sensors based on holey-reduced graphene oxide (HRGO) with a large surface area (274.5 m²/g) and an abundant pore structure. HRGO was prepared via the H₂O₂-etching-reaction-assisted hydrothermal processing of graphene oxide sheets. The resulting humidity sensor exhibited high sensitivity (−0.04317 log Z/%RH, R² = 0.9717), a fast response time (<3 s), and long-term stability over 28 days. The impedance responses of the humidity sensor were almost similar between the mechanically standard and bent states. Furthermore, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was performed to understand the humidity-sensing mechanism of the HRGO materials.
