Ti2C is one of the thinnest layers in MXene family with high potential for applications. In the present study, the adsorption of NH3, H2, CH4, CO, CO2, N2, NO2, and O2 on monolayer Ti2CO2 was investigated by using first-principles simulations to exploit its potential applications as gas sensor or capturer. Among all the gas molecules, only NH3 could be chemisorbed on Ti2CO2 with apparent charge transfer of 0.174 e. We further calculated the current-voltage (I-V) relation using the nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method. The transport feature exhibits distinct responses with a dramatic change of I-V relation before and after NH3 adsorption on Ti2CO2. Thus, we predict that Ti2CO2 could be a promising candidate for the NH3 sensor with high selectivity and sensitivity. On the other hand, the adsorption of NH3 on Ti2CO2 could be further strengthened with the increase of applied strain on Ti2CO2, while the adsorption of other gases on Ti2CO2 is still weak under the same strain, indicating that the capture of NH3 on Ti2CO2 under the strain is highly preferred over other gas molecules. Moreover, the adsorbed NH3 on Ti2CO2 could be escapable by releasing the applied strain, which indicates the capture process is reversible. Our study widens the application of monolayer Ti2CO2 not only as the battery material, but also as the potential gas sensor or capturer of NH3 with high sensitivity and selectivity.

Article Synopsis
- Exosomes are tiny vesicles released by cells that show potential as biomarkers for early lung cancer diagnosis, but current methods struggle to distinguish between specific cancer types like adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) and early-stage invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC).
- The study introduces a new detection method using multi-receptor surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with a specially designed two-dimensional substrate, which improves the ability to differentiate between AIS and IAC.
- This new SERS sensor boasts impressive results with 90% sensitivity and 95% specificity in identifying the two conditions, offering a promising advancement in lung cancer diagnostics.

Micro- and nano-plastics (MPs and NPs) released from plastics in the environment can enter the food chain and target the human intestine. However, knowledge about the effects of these particles on the human intestine is still limited due to the lack of relevant human intestinal models to validate data obtained from animal studies or tissue models employing cancer cells. In this study, human intestinal organoids were used to develop epithelia to mimic the cell complexity and functions of native tissue.

We describe the utilization of VSnanosheet as high sensing response, reuse, and thermodynamic stability at room temperature NOand NO gas sensors by using the density functional theory method. We focus on the electronic structures and adsorption energy toward a variety of gaseous molecules (such as O, CO, HO, NH, NO, and NO) adsorbed on the VSnanosheet. The results show that chemical interactions existed between NO/NOmolecules and VSnanosheet due to sizable adsorption energy and strong covalent (S-N) bonds.

In this study, the adsorption of gas molecules, such as O2, NH3, CO, CO2, H2O, NOx (x = 1, 2) and SO2, on Janus Te2Se monolayer has been investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We show that Janus Te2Se monolayer is preferable for SO2 and NOx molecules with suitable adsorption strength and apparent charge transfers. We further calculated the current-voltage (I-V) curves using the nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method.
