Carpet-like and grass-like arranged CuO nanosheets were fabricated on flexible polyethylene terephthalate substrates via the spin-spray method using different complexing agents. The CuO nanostructures strongly adhered to the substrate, and the resulting coated substrates were sufficiently flexible to be used as humidity sensors in a bent state. The humidity-sensing properties were evaluated by exposing the sensors to 20-90% relative humidity at room temperature. The sensor based on the carpet-like CuO nanosheets did not exhibit any humidity response. The grass-like CuO nanosheets had excellent humidity-sensing performance as evidenced by the linear resistance behavior, short response and recovery times of 2.1 s and 2.8 s, respectively, and high sensitivity of up to 170%. In addition, the sensor based on the nanosheets possessed high stability and durability against mechanical bending. The sensitivity and response and recovery times were almost unchanged even when the bending angle was 90 degrees and after 1000 bending-relaxation cycles.
