Recently, a new family of the Janus NbSeTe monolayer has exciting development prospects for two-dimensional (2D) asymmetric layered materials that demonstrate outstanding properties for high-performance nanoelectronics and optoelectronics applications. Motivated by the fascinating properties of the Janus monolayer, we have studied the gas sensing properties of the Janus NbSeTe monolayer for CO, CO2, NO, NO2, H2S, and SO2 gas molecules using first-principles calculations that will have eminent application in the field of personal security, protection of the environment, and various other industries. We have calculated the adsorption energies and sensing height from the Janus NbSeTe monolayer surface to the gas molecules to detect the binding strength for these considered toxic gases. In addition, considerable charge transfer between Janus monolayer and gas molecules were calculated to confirm the detection of toxic gases. Due to the presence of asymmetric structures of the Janus NbSeTe monolayer, the projected density of states, charge transfer, binding strength, and transport properties displayed distinct behavior when these toxic gases absorbed at Se- and Te-sites of the Janus monolayer. Based on the ultra-low recovery time in the order of μs for NO and NO2 and ps for CO, CO2, H2S, and SO2 gas molecules in the visible region at room temperature suggest that the Janus monolayer as a better candidate for reusable sensors for gas sensing materials. From the transport properties, it can be observed that there is a significant variation of I−V characteristics and sensitivity of the Janus NbSeTe monolayer before and after adsorbing gas molecules demonstrates the feasibility of NbSeTe material that makes it an ideal material for a high-sensitivity gas sensor.

The substrate plays a key role in chemoresistive gas sensors. It acts as mechanical support for the sensing material, hosts the heating element and, also, aids the sensing material in signal transduction. In recent years, a significant improvement in the substrate production process has been achieved, thanks to the advances in micro- and nanofabrication for micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technologies. In addition, the use of innovative materials and smaller low-power consumption silicon microheaters led to the development of high-performance gas sensors. Various heater layouts were investigated to optimize the temperature distribution on the membrane, and a suspended membrane configuration was exploited to avoid heat loss by conduction through the silicon bulk. However, there is a lack of comprehensive studies focused on predictive models for the optimization of the thermal and mechanical properties of a microheater. In this work, three microheater layouts in three membrane sizes were developed using the microfabrication process. The performance of these devices was evaluated to predict their thermal and mechanical behaviors by using both experimental and theoretical approaches. Finally, a statistical method was employed to cross-correlate the thermal predictive model and the mechanical failure analysis, aiming at microheater design optimization for gas-sensing applications.
