In this paper, we use 2D PbSe to design a gas sensor to monitor the presence of SO and Cl. We use first principles to verify the feasibility of this material, such as atomic structure, band gap, differential charge density and Bader charge. The results show that 2D PbSe can distinctly adsorb SO and Cl. Furthermore, the adsorption of SO and Cl will affect the electronic structure of 2D PbSe, and some electrons in the PbSe are transferred to gas atoms. The band gap of the system after adsorption is smaller than that of the PbSe before adsorption. The band gap of single layer PbSe decreases by 41.92% after SO adsorption and 60.61% after Cl adsorption. The band gap of multi-layer PbSe decreases by 72.97% after SO adsorption and 43.24% after Cl adsorption. This shows that single layer PbSe is more sensitive to Cl and multi-layer PbSe is more sensitive to SO. It provides a potential possibility for designing gas sensors for SO and Cl based on 2D PbSe.

CdS/ZnS heterostructures with tunable band gaps are promising photocatalysts for solar- or visible-light-driven H production through water splitting. To predict how the bandgap changes with the heterostructure composition, density functional theory calculations with meta-GGA correction are performed. It is found that the band gaps of CdS and ZnS are reduced by up to 14.

Two-dimensional (2D) PtSe has attracted significant attention in recent years owing to its exceptional optoelectronic properties. Currently, the contact interface of the PtSe/bulk 2D-three-dimensional (3D) p-n heterojunction exhibits numerous defects. Moreover, the n-type bulk materials serve as a carrier transport layer, resulting in serious recombination losses and deterioration of device stability.

Metal chalcogenides have been extensively studied for thermoelectric applications. Among other metal chalcogenides, silver selenide (AgSe) is considered one of the most promising n-type semiconducting materials for thermoelectric applications due to its low band gap value, Seebeck coefficient, and superior power factor (PF) rendered at room temperature. However, one of the main drawbacks of using AgSe as a thermoelectric material on a large scale is the time-consuming physical methods to obtain them, and the need for high vacuum synthesis conditions as well as high-cost.

In this study, biopolymer of chitosan-based films were synthesized, which were impregnated with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) at concentrations of 0, 1, 5 and 10 % w:v to obtain a film with microbicide properties and non-toxic for humans. The ZnO NPs were phytosynthesized with ethanolic extract of Ruta graveolens, by UV-Vis spectrophotometry and Tauc equation were estimated their Band gap energy=3.37 eV at wavelength of 302 nm.
