Abstract
Bioelectronics, a field pivotal in monitoring and stimulating biological processes, demands innovative nanomaterials as detection platforms. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, with their thin structures and exceptional physicochemical properties, have emerged as critical substances in this research. However, these materials face challenges in biomedical applications due to issues related to their biological compatibility, adaptability, functionality, and nano-bio surface characteristics. This review examines surface modifications using covalent and non-covalent-based polymer-functionalization strategies to overcome these limitations by enhancing the biological compatibility, adaptability, and functionality of 2D nanomaterials. These surface modifications aim to create stable and long-lasting therapeutic effects, significantly paving the way for the practical application of polymer-functionalized 2D materials in biosensors and bioelectronics. The review paper critically summarizes the surface functionalization of 2D nanomaterials with biocompatible polymers, including g-C3N4, graphene family, MXene, BP, MOF, and TMDCs, highlighting their current state, physicochemical structures, synthesis methods, material characteristics, and applications in biosensors and bioelectronics. The paper concludes with a discussion of prospects, challenges, and numerous opportunities in the evolving field of bioelectronics.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently emerged as a unique developmental influence that is playing an important role in the development of medicine. The AI medium is showing the potential in unprecedented advancements in truth and efficiency. The intersection of AI has the potential to revolutionize drug discovery. However, AI also has limitations and experts should be aware of these data access and ethical issues. The use of AI techniques for drug discovery applications has increased considerably over the past few years, including combinatorial QSAR and QSPR, virtual screening, and denovo drug design. The purpose of this survey is to give a general overview of drug discovery based on artificial intelligence, and associated applications. We also highlighted the gaps present in the traditional method for drug designing. In addition, potential strategies and approaches to overcome current challenges are discussed to address the constraints of AI within this field. We hope that this survey plays a comprehensive role in understanding the potential of AI in drug discovery.

Abstract
Phosphorene is a recently developed two-dimensional (2D) material that has attracted tremendous attention because of its unique anisotropic optical properties and quasi-one-dimensional (1D) excitons. We use first-principles calculations combined with the maximally localized Wannier function tight binding Hamiltonian and Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) formalism to investigate quasiparticle effects of 2D and quasi-1D blue and black phosphorene nanoribbons. Our electronic structure calculations shows that both blue and black monolayered phases are semiconductors. On the other hand black phosphorene zigzag nanoribbons are metallic. Similar behavior is found for very thin blue phosphorene zig-zag and armchair nanoribbon. As a general behavior, the exciton binding energy decreases as the ribbon width increases, which highlights the importance of quantum confinement effects. The solution of the BSE shows that the blue phosphorene monolayer has an exciton binding energy four times higher than that of the black phosphorene counterpart. Furthermore, both monolayers show a different linear optical response with respect to light polarization, as black phosphorene is highly anisotropic. We find a similar, but less pronounced, optical anisotropy for blue phosphorene monolayer, caused exclusively by the quasi-particle effects. Finally, we show that some of the investigated nanoribbons show a spin-triplet excitonic insulator behavior, thus revealing exciting features of these nanoribbons and therefore provides important advances in the understanding of quasi-one dimensional phosphorus-based materials.

Abstract
CONTEXT N-Nitrosamine is one of the highly toxic carcinogenic compounds that are found almost in the entire environment. In the present work, novel penta-silicene (penta-Si) and penta-silicane (penta-HSi) are utilised to sense the N-nitrosamine in the air environment. Initially, structural firmness of penta-Si and penta-HSi is confirmed using cohesive energy. Subsequently, the electronic properties of penta-Si and penta-HSi are discussed with the aid of electronic band structure and projected density of states (PDOS) maps. The calculated band gap of penta-Si and penta-HSi is 0.251 eV and 3.117 eV, correspondingly. Mainly, the adsorption property of N-nitrosamine on the penta-Si and penta-HSi is studied based on adsorption energy, Mulliken population analysis along with relative energy gap changes. The computed adsorption energy range is in physisorption (- 0.101 to - 0.619 eV), which recommends that the proposed penta-Si and penta-HSi can be employed as a promising sensor to detect the N-nitrosamine in the air environment. METHODS The structural, electronic and adsorption behaviour of N-nitrosamine on penta-Si and penta-HSi are studied based on the density functional theory (DFT) approach. The hybrid generalized gradient approximation (GGA) with Becke's three-parameter (B3) + Lee-Yang-Parr (LYP) exchange correlation functional is used to optimise the base material. All calculations in the present work are carried out in Quantum-ATK-Atomistic Simulation Software.

Abstract
In the present work, we deployed a novel orthorhombic germanane nanosheet (ortho-GeNS) as a sensing material to detect camphene and eucalyptol molecules, the indoor air pollutants in the ambient environment. In the beginning, the structural and dynamical permanency of ortho-GeNS is confirmed with cohesive energy (-4.164eV/atom) and phonon-band maps. Successively, the electronic features of ortho-GeNS are conferred using band structure along with the projected density of states maps. The energy gap of ortho-GeNS at the hybrid GGA/B3LYP level of theory is computed to be 3.948 eV. Mainly, the adsorption properties of terpinene molecules, namely camphene and eucalyptol on ortho-GeNS are investigated via ascertaining adsorption energy, Mulliken population analysis, and relative band gap variations. Besides, the scope of adsorption energy values (-0.405eVto-0.669eV) exemplifies that the target molecules are physisorbed on ortho-GeNS. Overall results suggested that the ortho-GeNS can be deployed as a worthy chemiresistive sensor to sense indoor air pollutants for monitoring indoor air quality.

Abstract
In this paper, tungsten oxide (WO3) is deposited on a silicon substrate applied in electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor structures for pH sensing devices. To boost the sensing performance, yttrium (Y) is doped into WO3 membranes, and annealing is incorporated in the fabrication process. To investigate the effects of Y doping and annealing, multiple material characterizations including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atom force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are performed. Material analysis results indicate that annealing and Y doping can increase crystallinity, suppress defects, and enhance grainization, thereby strengthening membrane sensing capabilities in terms of sensitivity, linearity, and reliability. Because of their stable response, high reliability, and compact size, Y-doped WO3 membranes are promising for future biomedical applications.
