[PMID: 38399050 PMCID: PMC10890007 DOI: 10.3390/ma17040799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures of aluminum nitride (AlN) and gallium nitride (GaN), called nanosheets, have a graphene-like atomic arrangement and represent novel materials with important upcoming applications in the fields of flexible electronics, optoelectronics, and strain engineering, among others. Knowledge of their mechanical behavior is key to the correct design and enhanced functioning of advanced 2D devices and systems based on aluminum nitride and gallium nitride nanosheets. With this background, the surface Young's and shear moduli of AlN and GaN nanosheets over a wide range of aspect ratios were assessed using the nanoscale continuum model (NCM), also known as the molecular structural mechanics (MSM) approach. The NCM/MSM approach uses elastic beam elements to represent interatomic bonds and allows the elastic moduli of nanosheets to be evaluated in a simple way. The surface Young's and shear moduli calculated in the current study contribute to building a reference for the evaluation of the elastic moduli of AlN and GaN nanosheets using the theoretical method. The results show that an analytical methodology can be used to assess the Young's and shear moduli of aluminum nitride and gallium nitride nanosheets without the need for numerical simulation. An exploratory study was performed to adjust the input parameters of the numerical simulation, which led to good agreement with the results of elastic moduli available in the literature. The limitations of this method are also discussed.

Abstract
Epitaxy technology produces high-quality material building blocks that underpin various fields of applications. However, fundamental limitations exist for conventional epitaxy, such as the lattice matching constraints that have greatly narrowed down the choices of available epitaxial material combinations. Recent emerging epitaxy techniques such as remote and van der Waals epitaxy have shown exciting perspectives to overcome these limitations and provide freestanding nanomembranes for massive novel applications. Here, we review the mechanism and fundamentals for van der Waals and remote epitaxy to produce freestanding nanomembranes. Key benefits that are exclusive to these two growth strategies are comprehensively summarized. A number of original applications have also been discussed, highlighting the advantages of these freestanding films-based designs. Finally, we discuss the current limitations with possible solutions and potential future directions towards nanomembranes-based advanced heterogeneous integration.

Abstract
A highly symmetric structure of metal dimers embedded in defect-graphene (M2⊥gra) in a perpendicular manner was designed. Five M2⊥gra (M = Co, Ni, Rh, Ir and Pt) monolayers were identified to be stable by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. To investigate the capability of those new structures as gas sensors, the adsorption behavior of ten gas molecules (O2, N2, CO, CO2, NO, NO2, NH3, H2O, H2S and SO2) on M2⊥gra was explored, and the charge transfer, magnetism changes, etc. of these adsorption systems were analyzed. The Ni2⊥gra can be used as a gas sensor for O2 at 500 K by the analysis of electronic and magnetic properties. At room temperature, the Pt2⊥gra is expected to be an excellent CO2 gas selector due to its high selectivity, sensitivity and short recovery time (1.04 × 10-12 s). The electronic and magnetic coupling between the metal atoms in the vertical metal dimers plays an important role in sensing gas molecules. Our work paves a new way to design metal-dimer-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
Inspired by the recent practical application of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials as gas sensors, catalysts, and materials for waste gas disposal, herein, the adsorption behaviors of environmental gas molecules, including NO, CO, O2, CO2, NO2, H2O, H2S, and NH3, on the 2D pristine and defective MoSi2N4 (MSN) monolayers were systematically investigated using spin-polarized density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Our results reveal that all the gas molecules are physically adsorbed on the MSN surface with small charge transfer, but the electronic structures of NO, NO2, and O2 are obviously modified due to the in-gap states. The introduction of N vacancy on the MSN surface enhances the interaction between gas molecules and the substrate, especially for NO2 and O2. Interestingly, the adsorption type of NO and CO evolves from physisorption to chemisorption, which may be utilized in NO and CO catalytic reaction. Furthermore, the moderate adsorption strength and obvious changes in electronic properties of H2O and H2S on the defective MSN make them have promising prospects in highly sensitive and reusable gas sensors. This work offers several promising gas sensors based on the MSN monolayer and also provides a theoretical reference of other related 2D materials in the field of gas sensors, catalysts, and toxic gas disposal.

Abstract
The design of sensitive and selective gas sensors can be significantly simplified if materials that are intrinsically selective to target gas molecules can be identified. In recent years, monolayers consisting of group III–V elements have been identified as promising gas sensing materials. In this article, we investigate gas adsorption properties of buckled GaAs monolayer using first-principles calculations within the framework of density functional theory. We examine the adsorption energy, adsorption distance, charge transfer, and electron density difference to study the strength and nature of adsorption. We calculate the change in band structure, work function, conductivity, density of states, and optical reflectivity for analyzing its prospect as work function-based, chemiresistive, optical, and magnetic gas sensor applications. In this regard, we considered the adsorption of ten gas molecules, namely NH3, NO2, NO, CH4, H2, CO, SO2, HCN, H2S, and CO2, and noticed that GaAs monolayer is responsive to NO, NO2, NH3, and SO2 only. Specifically, NH3, SO2 and NO2 chemisorb on the GaAs monolayer and change the work function by more than 5%. While both NO and NO2 are found to be responsive in the far-infrared (FIR) range, NO shows better spin-splitting property and a significant change in conductivity. Moreover, the recovery time at room temperature for NO is observed to be in the sub-millisecond range suggesting selective and sensitive NO response in GaAs monolayer. NH3, NO2, and SO2 chemisorb on the GaAs monolayer. NO adsorption induces a magnetic moment (1.02 μB per cell), and significantly changes the conductivity and reflectivity.![]()

Abstract
2D III-nitride materials have been receiving considerable attention recently due to their excellent physicochemical properties, such as high stability, wide and tunable bandgap, and magnetism. Therefore, 2D III-nitride materials can be applied in various fields, such as electronic and photoelectric devices, spin-based devices, and gas detectors. Although the developments of 2D h-BN materials have been successful, the fabrication of other 2D III-nitride materials, such as 2D h-AlN, h-GaN, and h-InN, are still far from satisfactory, which limits the practical applications of these materials. In this review, recent advances in the properties, growth methods, and potential applications of 2D III-nitride materials are summarized. The properties of the 2D III-nitride materials are mainly obtained by first-principles calculations because of the difficulties in the growth and characterizations of these materials. The discussion on the growth of 2D III-nitride materials is focused on 2D h-BN and h-AlN, as the developments of 2D h-GaN and h-InN are yet to be realized. Therefore, applications have been realized mostly based on the 2D h-BN materials; however, many potential applications are cited for the entire range of 2D III-nitride materials. Finally, future research directions and prospects in this field are also discussed.

Abstract
Although excellent milestones of III-nitrides in optoelectronic devices have been achieved, the focus on the optimization of their geometrical structure for multiple applications is very rare. To address this issue, we exclusively designed a prototype device to enhance the photoconversion efficiency and gas interaction capabilities of GaN nanorods (NRs) grown on a V-grooved Si(100) substrate with Si(111) facets for photodetector and gas sensor applications. Photoluminescence studies have demonstrated an increased surface-to-volume ratio and light trapping for GaN NRs grown on V-grooved Si(111). GaN NRs on V-grooved Si(100) with Si(111) facets exhibited high photodetection performance in terms of photoresponsivity (217 mA/cm2), detectivity (3 × 1013 Jones), and external quantum efficiency (2.73 × 105%) compared to GaN NRs grown on plain Si(111). Owing to the robust interconnection between NRs and a high surface-to-volume ratio, the GaN NRs grown on V-grooved Si(100) with Si(111) facets probed for NO2 detection with the assistance of photonic energy. The photo-assisted sensing makes it possible to detect NO2 gas at the ppb level at room temperature, resulting in significant power reduction. The device showed high selectivity to NO2 against other target gases, such as NO, H2S, H2, NH3, and CO. The device showed excellent long-term stability at room temperature; the humidity effect on the device performance was also examined. The excellent device performance was due to the following: (i) benefited from the V-grooved Si structure, GaN NRs significantly trapped the incident light, which promoted high photocurrent conversion efficiency and (ii) GaN NRs grown on V-grooved Si(100) with Si(111) facets increased the surface-to-volume ratio and thus improved the gas interaction with a better diffusion ratio and high light trapping, which resulted in increased response/recovery times. These results represent an important forward step in prototype devices for multiple applications in materials research.

Abstract
The development of highly sensitive, low-power consuming, stable and recyclable gas sensing devices at room temperature has become an important solution for environmental safety detection. Utilizing a two-dimensional metalloporphyrin monolayer for gas sensing is appealing due to its large specific surface area and high surface activity. A two-dimensional manganese porphyrin monolayer (2DMnPr) is selected from 2D metalloporphyrins with 3d metal centers due to its semi-metallicity to explore its gas sensing properties. Using first-principles calculations, we systematically investigate the electronic structures and adsorption characteristics of gas molecules with toxicity and greenhouse effect on the surface of 2DMnPr, including H2S, CO, CO2, SO2, NO and NO2. The strength of the interaction and charge transfer between the 2DMnPr surface and the adsorbed molecules have a direct effect on the electronic properties and the sensing properties of the adsorbent surface. The sensing performance of the 2DMnPr adsorbent is evaluated via two observable parameters: work function and electrical conductivity. The work functions of 2DMnPr after the adsorption of CO, SO2, NO and NO2 gas molecules increase by different degrees depending on the charge transfer, and those of the H2S and CO2 cases decrease. In our simulation, adsorption of CO, SO2, NO and NO2 gas molecules affects the electronic properties of 2DMnPr markedly, and current-voltage characteristics within a low bias range uncover the superior sensitivity of the conductivity of the 2DMnPr monolayer to these molecules. Besides, the sensing performance is demonstrated to be stable under strain and at room temperature. The desorption time of a gas is positively related to its adsorption energy. The recovery time of CO is predicted to be short enough to realize sustainable detection at room temperature, and the SO2, NO and NO2 gases can also be desorbed at higher temperatures. These results demonstrate that 2DMnPr enables the sensitive detection of these gases and predict the potential application of 2DMnPr as an ultra-sensitive, low-power, stable and recyclable gas sensor at room temperature.

Abstract
Using first-principles calculations, the structural, electronic, and optical properties of CO2, CO, N2O, CH4, H2, N2, O2, NH3, acetone, and ethanol molecules adsorbed on a diazine monolayer were studied to develop the application potential of the diazine monolayer as a room-temperature gas sensor for detecting acetone, ethanol, and NH3. We found that these molecules are all physically adsorbed on the diazine monolayer with weak adsorption strength and charge transfer between the molecules and the monolayer, but the physisorption of only NH3, acetone, and ethanol remarkably modified the electronic properties of the diazine monolayer, especially for the obvious change in electric conductivity, showing that the diazine monolayer is highly sensitive to acetone, NH3, and ethanol. Further, the adsorption of NH3, acetone, and ethanol molecules remarkably modifies, in varying degrees, the optical properties of the diazine monolayer, such as work function, absorption coefficient, and the reflectivity, whereas adsorption of other molecules has infinitesimal influence. The different adsorption behaviors and influences of the electronic and optical properties of molecules on the monolayer show that the diazine monolayer has high selectivity to NH3, acetone, and ethanol. The recovery time of NH3, acetone, and ethanol molecules is, respectively, 1.2 μs, 7.7 μs, and 0.11 ms at 300 K. Thus, the diazine monolayer has a high application potential as a room-temperature acetone, ethanol, and NH3 sensor with high performance (high selectivity and sensitivity, and rapid recovery time).

Abstract
Black phosphorus nanostructures have recently sparked substantial research interest for the rational development of novel chemosensors and nanodevices. For the first time, the influence of alkali metal doping of black phosphorus monolayer (BP) on its capabilities for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) capture and monitoring is discussed. Four different nanostructures including BP, Li-BP, Na-BP, and K-BP were evaluated; it was found that the adsorption configuration on Li-BP was different from others such that the NO2 molecule preferred a vertical stabilization rather than a parallel configuration with respect to the surface. The efficiency for the detection increased in the sequence of Na-BP < BP < K-BP < Li-BP, with the most significant improvement of + 95.2% in the case of Li doping. The Na-BP demonstrated the most compelling capacity (54 times higher than BP) for NO2 capture and catalysis (− 24.36 kcal/mol at HSE06/TZVP). Furthermore, the K-doped device was appropriate for both nitrogen dioxide adsorption and sensing while also providing the highest work function sensitivity (55.4%), which was much higher than that of BP (10.4%).

Abstract
In recent years, the scientific community has given more and more attention to the issue of climate change and global warming, which is largely attributed to the massive quantity of carbon dioxide emissions. Thus, the demand for a carbon dioxide capture material is massive and continuously increasing. In this study, we perform first-principle calculations based on density functional theory to investigate the carbon dioxide capture ability of pristine and doped beryllonitrene. Our results show that carbon dioxide had an adsorption energy of −0.046 eV on pristine beryllonitrene, so it appears that beryllonitrene has extremely weak carbon dioxide adsorption ability. Pristine beryllonitrene could be effectively doped with lithium atoms, and the resulting Li-doped beryllonitrene had much stronger interactions with carbon dioxide than pristine beryllonitrene. The adsorption energy for carbon dioxide on Li-doped beryllonitrene was −0.408 eV. The adsorption of carbon dioxide on Li-doped beryllonitrene greatly changed the charge density, projected density of states, and band structure of the material, demonstrating that it was strongly adsorbed. This suggests that Li-doping is a viable way to enhance the carbon dioxide capture ability of beryllonitrene and makes it a possible candidate for an effective CO2 capture material. Lithium-doped beryllonitrene monolayer can effectively chemisorb carbon dioxide molecules.![]()

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal disulfides such as MoS2 and WS2 exhibit multiple phases. Altering their phase makes it possible to change their chemical and physical properties significantly. Although several phase-induced modification mechanisms have been reported, their effects on the gas-sensing performance of these substrates remain unknown. Here, the effects of phase selection on the gas-sensing characteristics of 1T' and 2H monolayer MoS2 and WS2 were explored using a density functional theory-based first-principles approach. The theoretical computations took into account the binding energy, band structure, theoretical recovery time, density of states, electron difference density, and total electron density. The results showed that there is a significant change in the density of states near the Fermi level as well as greater charge transfer between the gas in question and the substrate when the gas is adsorbed onto 1T' MoS2 and WS2. Thus, phase selection is important for improving the gas-sensing performance of monolayer MoS2 and WS2. This study provides theoretical evidence for increasing the sensing performance of polymorph films of these materials.

Abstract
The structure, adsorption characteristics, electronic properties, and charge transfer of SO2 and NO2 molecules on metal-doped gallium nitride nanosheets (M-GaNNSs; M = Ti and Cr) were scrutinized at the Grimme-corrected PBE/double numerical plus polarization (DNP) level of theory. Two types, MGa-GaNNSs and MN-GaNNSs, of doped nanostructures were found. The MGa sites are more stable than the MN sites. The results showed that adsorption of SO2 and NO2 molecules on TiGa,N-GaNNSs is energetically more favorable than the corresponding CrGa,N-GaNNSs. The stability order of complexes is energetically predicted to be as NO2-TiGa-GaNNS > NO2-TiN-GaNNS > SO2-TiGa-GaNNS > NO2-CrN-GaNNS > SO2-TiN-GaNNS > NO2-CrGa-GaNNS > SO2-CrN-GaNNS > SO2-CrGa-GaNNS. The electron population analysis shows that charge is transferred from MGa,N-GaNNSs to the adsorbed gases. The TiGa-GaNNS is more sensitive than the other doped nanostructures to NO2 and SO2 gases. It is estimated that the sensitivity of TiGa-GaNNS to NO2 gas is more than to SO2 gas.

Abstract
In the last two decades, GaN nanostructures of various forms like nanowires (NWs), nanotubes (NTs), nanofibers (NFs), nanoparticles (NPs) and nanonetworks (NNs) have been reported for gas sensing applications. In this paper, we have reviewed our group’s work and the works published by other groups on the advances in GaN nanostructures-based sensors for detection of gases such as hydrogen (H2), alcohols (R-OH), methane (CH4), benzene and its derivatives, nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur-dioxide (SO2), ammonia (NH3), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The important sensing performance parameters like limit of detection, response/recovery time and operating temperature for different type of sensors have been summarized and tabulated to provide a thorough performance comparison. A novel metric, the product of response time and limit of detection, has been established, to quantify and compare the overall sensing performance of GaN nanostructure-based devices reported so far. According to this metric, it was found that the InGaN/GaN NW-based sensor exhibits superior overall sensing performance for H2 gas sensing, whereas the GaN/(TiO2–Pt) nanowire-nanoclusters (NWNCs)-based sensor is better for ethanol sensing. The GaN/TiO2 NWNC-based sensor is also well suited for TNT sensing. This paper has also reviewed density-functional theory (DFT)-based first principle studies on the interaction between gas molecules and GaN. The implementation of machine learning algorithms on GaN nanostructured sensors and sensor array has been analyzed as well. Finally, gas sensing mechanism on GaN nanostructure-based sensors at room temperature has been discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
The development of low-dimensional and robust nano-sensors is an area of potential research and development. In this direction, here, we investigated the sensing of NO2 gas molecules adsorbed on the edges of III-V nitride nanoribbons with armchair edges (AXNNR, X = B/Al/Ga). Five different adsorption sites are considered for the adsorption of NO2 molecules and the adsorption assisted modulation of electronic and transport properties has been observed for detection purpose. Interestingly, a semiconducting to metallic transition has been noticed in considered AXNNR due to NO2 interaction. The selectivity of NO2 with respect to N2 is found to be higher as compared to that of O2. Further, some of the selected structures exhibit an interesting negative differential resistance (NDR) phenomenon which suggest that NO2 adsorbed AXNNR could also be useful for designing of the fast switching devices and oscillators applications.

Abstract
Using density functional theory calculations, the adsorption of gaseous molecules (NO, NO2, NH3, SO2, CO, HCN, O2, H2, N2, CO2, and H2O) on the graphitic SiC monolayer and bilayer has been investigated to explore the possibilities in gas sensors for NO, NO2, and NH3 detection. The strong adsorption of NO2 and SO2 on the SiC monolayer precludes its applications in nitride gas sensors. The nitride gases (NO, NO2, and NH3) are chemisorbed on the SiC bilayer with moderate adsorption energies and apparent charge transfer, while the other molecules are all physisorbed. Further, the bilayer can effectively weaken the adsorption strength of NO2 and SO2 molecules, that is, NO2 molecules are only weakly chemisorbed on the SiC bilayer with an E ads of -0.62 eV, while SO2 are physisorbed on the bilayer. These results indicate that the SiC bilayer can serve as a gas sensor to detect NO, NO2, and NH3 gases with excellent performance (high sensitivity, high selectivity, and rapid recovery time). Moreover, compared with other molecular adsorptions, the adsorption of NH3 molecules significantly changes the work function of the SiC monolayer and bilayer, indicating that they can be used as optical gas sensors for NH3 detection.

Abstract
Toxic gases, such as NOx, SOx, H₂S and other S-containing gases, cause numerous harmful effects on human health even at very low gas concentrations. Reliable detection of various gases in low concentration is mandatory in the fields such as industrial plants, environmental monitoring, air quality assurance, automotive technologies and so on. In this paper, the recent advances in electrochemical sensors for toxic gas detections were reviewed and summarized with a focus on NO₂, SO₂ and H₂S gas sensors. The recent progress of the detection of each of these toxic gases was categorized by the highly explored sensing materials over the past few decades. The important sensing performance parameters like sensitivity/response, response and recovery times at certain gas concentration and operating temperature for different sensor materials and structures have been summarized and tabulated to provide a thorough performance comparison. A novel metric, sensitivity per ppm/response time ratio has been calculated for each sensor in order to compare the overall sensing performance on the same reference. It is found that hybrid materials-based sensors exhibit the highest average ratio for NO₂ gas sensing, whereas GaN and metal-oxide based sensors possess the highest ratio for SO₂ and H₂S gas sensing, respectively. Recently, significant research efforts have been made exploring new sensor materials, such as graphene and its derivatives, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), GaN, metal-metal oxide nanostructures, solid electrolytes and organic materials to detect the above-mentioned toxic gases. In addition, the contemporary progress in SO₂ gas sensors based on zeolite and paper and H₂S gas sensors based on colorimetric and metal-organic framework (MOF) structures have also been reviewed. Finally, this work reviewed the recent first principle studies on the interaction between gas molecules and novel promising materials like arsenene, borophene, blue phosphorene, GeSe monolayer and germanene. The goal is to understand the surface interaction mechanism.

Abstract
Electrically-transduced sensors, with their simplicity and compatibility with standard electronic technologies, produce signals that can be efficiently acquired, processed, stored, and analyzed. Two dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, including graphene, phosphorene (BP), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), and others, have proven to be attractive for the fabrication of high-performance electrically-transduced chemical sensors due to their remarkable electronic and physical properties originating from their 2D structure. This review highlights the advances in electrically-transduced chemical sensing that rely on 2D materials. The structural components of such sensors are described, and the underlying operating principles for different types of architectures are discussed. The structural features, electronic properties, and surface chemistry of 2D nanostructures that dictate their sensing performance are reviewed. Key advances in the application of 2D materials, from both a historical and analytical perspective, are summarized for four different groups of analytes: gases, volatile compounds, ions, and biomolecules. The sensing performance is discussed in the context of the molecular design, structure-property relationships, and device fabrication technology. The outlook of challenges and opportunities for 2D nanomaterials for the future development of electrically-transduced sensors is also presented.
