O(0≤x≤4.0) xerogel thin films humidity elements are prepared by sol-gel process
and its complex impedance plots are analyzed.Results show that the radius of semicircle of the complex impedance plots for poly-vanadium-molybdenum acid xerogel thin films increase with increasing of x.When x≥2.5
in the low-frequency range
the contact part of the total impedance for electrode appears.The properties of humidity elements are best as x=2.0
while the complex impedance is higher and no relationship with frequency.H
