Temperature measurement and control has an extremely important role in both scientific research and manufacturing. Capacitive liquid crystal (LC) temperature sensors can monitor the temperature using the linear variation of the capacitance of LC cell with temperature, but the sensitivity and other properties need to be improved. In order to improve the performance of capacitive LC temperature sensor, we propose to mix twisted nematic LC (1M10600-100) with ferromagnetic nanoparticles γ-Fe 2 O 3  to prepare LC temperature sensor in this paper. The relationship between the capacitance change rate of different concentrations of nano-doped LC materials at 0.1–20 V and different temperatures was tested, the sensitivity of the sensor was calculated, and the mechanism of the effect of doped nanoparticles on the performance of the device was analyzed. The experimental results show that the sensitivity of the capacitive temperature sensor made of nano-doped LC with the concentration of 0.03 wt% is as high as 9.5 pF/°C at 12 V, which is about 14.87% higher than the undoped device, and its recovery and stability remain almost unchanged. The Pearson correlation coefficient only changes by 0.02%. The results of this paper provide some guidance for the improvement of the performance of capacitive LC temperature sensors, and the development of high-sensitivity temperature sensors based on LC materials.
