The LiCl-MCM-48 type materials were characterized employing XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and nitrogen adsorptiondesorption isotherm. We had the humidity sensors on a ceramic substrate with two Ag-Pd interdigital electrodes with ve ngers. The sample with 15 wt% LiCl-doped MCM-48 shows an excellent linearity in the whole humidity range of 11%-97%. It has very good response and recovery time, about 22 and 30 sec, respectively. %U https://scientiairanica.sharif.edu/article_3876_1ce3429ac1d90f05135c7717a6a2c85b.pdf
