- Abstract
This investigation delves into the adsorption characteristics of CO, NO, NO
2 , NH3 , and O2 on two-dimensional (2D) Janus group-III materials, specifically Al2 XY and B2 XY. The examination covers adsorption energies and heights, diverse adsorption sites, and molecular orientations. Employing first-principles analysis, a comprehensive assessment of structural, electronic, and optical properties is conducted. The findings highlight NO2 as a prominent adsorbate, emphasizing the Te surface of 2D Al2 STe and B2 STe materials as particularly adept for NO2 detection, based on considerations of adsorption energy, height, and charge transfer. Additionally, the study underscores the heightened sensitivity of work function changes in the B2 STe material. The adsorption properties of all gas molecules, except for NO2 , on both materials were determined to be physical. Upon adsorption of the NO2 gas molecule onto the B2 STe Janus material, it was observed that the material exhibited weak chemical adsorption behavior, which was confirmed by the adsorption energy, larger band gap change, electron localization function, work function changes and charge transfer from the material. This research provides valuable insights into the gas-sensing potential of 2D Janus materials.- Published
