Two-dimensional magnetic materials are attracting widespread attention not only for their excellent applications in spintronic devices but also for their potential to regulate valley splitting, which is crucial for valleytronics. Herein, we design a monolayer Janus ferromagnetic semiconductor T-CrSH by using first-principles calculations. We reveal that monolayer T-CrSH has a magnetic moment of 3 per unit cell, which is primarily contributed by the 3d orbitals of the Cr atom. Monte Carlo simulations suggest that the Curie temperature of T-CrSH is 193 K, and it can rise to 402 K when a 5% tensile strain is applied. Furthermore, the valley degeneracy of WS can be lifted when monolayer T-CrSH is used as a substrate. The obtained valley splitting in the conduction band is 13.7 meV and that in the valence band is 157.5 meV. In addition, the large valley polarization of 12.8 meV in the conduction band makes it easy to achieve an electron-doped valley Hall current and spin Hall current when performing in an in-plane electric field.
