• differentiate between the liquids. We show that the proposed liquid sensor can classify different liquids, including organic solvents (acetone, chloroform, and different alcohols) and is also able to differentiate low concentrations of glycerin in water (10–100 ppm). We have also investigated the influence of

• flow curves and the vapor pressure of the liquids. We observed the same correlation for the device curves presented in Figure 4c, evidencing that the thermal proprieties of the liquids are a critical component of the sensors’ electrical response. Conclusion In this work, a liquid sensor was developed
