The developed sensor is based on interdigitated capacitive electrodes screen printed on a flexible transparent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film. Cdots are deposited on top of these electrodes. An exhaustive characterization of the nanoparticles has been conducted along with the fabrication of the sensor structure. The accompanied experiments give all the sensibility to the Cdots, showing its dependence with temperature and exciting frequency. To the best of our knowledge, this work paves the path to the use of these kind of nanoparticles in printed flexible capacitive sensors aimed to be employed in the continuously expanding Internet of Things ecosystem.}, organization = {European Commission European Commission Joint Research Centre}, publisher = {Mdpi}, keywords = {Capacitive sensors}, keywords = {Moisture content}, keywords = {Nanomaterials}, keywords = {Screen printing}, keywords = {Printed electronics}, title = {Carbon Dots as Sensing Layer for Printed Humidity and Temperature Sensors}, doi = {10.3390/nano10122446}, author = {Rivadeneyra Torres, Almudena and Fernández Salmerón, José and Murru, Fabio and Lapresta Fernández, Alejandro and Rodríguez Santiago, Noel and Capitán Vallvey, Luis Fermín and Morales Santos, Diego Pedro and Salinas Castillo, Alfonso}, }
