Zusammenfassung:Two-dimensional materials have shown immense promise for gas-sensing applications due to their remarkable surface-to-volume ratios and tunable chemical properties. However, despite their potential, the utilization of ReSe2 as a gas-sensing material for nitrogen-containing molecules, including NO2, NO, and NH3, has remained unexplored. The choice of doping atoms in ReSe2 plays a pivotal role in enhancing the gas adsorption and gas-sensing capabilities. Herein, the adsorption properties of nitrogen-containing gas molecules on metal and non-metal single-atom (Au, Pt, Ni, P, and S)-doped ReSe2 monolayers have been evaluated systematically via ab initio calculations based on density functional theory. The findings strongly suggest that intrinsic ReSe2 has better selectivity toward NO2 than toward NO and NH3. Moreover, our results provide compelling evidence that all of the dopants, with the exception of S, significantly enhance both the adsorption strength and charge transfer between ReSe2 and the investigated molecules. Notably, P-decorated ReSe2 showed the highest adsorption energy for NO2 and NO (-1.93 and -1.52 eV, respectively) with charge transfer above 0.5e, while Ni-decorated ReSe2 exhibited the highest adsorption energy for NH3 (-0.76 eV). In addition, on the basis of transition theory, we found that only Au-ReSe2 and Ni-ReSe2 can serve as reusable chemiresisitve gas sensors for reliable detection of NO and NH3, respectively. Hence, our findings indicate that gas-sensing applications can be significantly improved by utilizing a single-atom-doped ReSe2 monolayer
