Abstract
In the ever-growing field of two-dimensional (2D) materials, the boron-sulfide (B2S2) monolayer is a promising new addition to MoS2-like 2D materials, with the boron (a lighter element) pair (B2 pair) having similar valence electrons to Mo. Herein, we have functionalized the h-phase boron sulfide monolayer by introducing oxygen atoms (Oh-B2S2) to widen its application scope as a gas sensor. The charge carrier mobilities of this system were found to be 790 × 102 cm2 V-1 s-1 and 32 × 102 cm2 V-1 s-1 for electrons and holes, respectively, which are much higher than the mobilities of the MoS2 monolayer. The potential application of the 2D Oh-B2S2 monolayer in the realm of gas sensing was evaluated using a combination of density functional theory (DFT), ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), and non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) based simulations. Our results imply that the Oh-B2S2 monolayer outperforms graphene and MoS2 in NO and NO2 selective sensing with higher adsorption energies (-0.56 and -0.16 eV) and charge transfer values (0.34 and 0.13e). Furthermore, the current-voltage characteristics show that the Oh-B2S2 monolayer may selectively detect NO and NO2 gases after bias 1.4 V, providing a greater possibility for the development of boron-based gas-sensing devices for future nanoelectronics.

Abstract
Real-time monitoring of the vented gases emitted by the thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is of great significance to the normal use of LIBs. We study systematically the adsorption and sensing performances of pristine and metal-doped BS monolayers to five typical gases (CO, CO2, CH4, C2H2, and C2H4) emitted from LIBs employing the first-principles method. The adsorption structure and energetics, charge transfer, band structure, density of states, sensitivity, and recovery time are simulated and analyzed. Outstanding sensing properties are predicted for the Ni-, Pd-, and Pt-doped BS monolayers, although their recently synthesized pristine counterpart shows little sensing potential for those gases. The magnitude of the adsorption energy increases from 0.249 eV to 2.32 eV (Ni-BS), 1.954 eV(Pd-BS), and 2.994 eV (Pt-BS) for the CO gas after doping. Besides, significant variation of band gap is observed after gas adsorption in doped BS nanosheets, which leads to huge theoretical values of the sensitivity. The sensitivity for CO, CO2, CH4, C2H2, and C2H4 on Pt-BS may reach up to 5.87 × 105, 1.57 × 106, 1.81 × 105, 8.33 × 104, and 8.18 × 103, respectively. In addition, the calculated recovery times indicate that the doped BS monolayers have strong selectivity for the adsorption and detection of these five gases. The three metal-doped BS monolayers should have great potential for application in sensors monitoring the gases emitted from LIBs.

Abstract
Considering the significant role of magnetism induction in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor materials, we systematically investigate the effects of various dopants from the 3d and 4d transition metal (TM) series, including Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag and Cd, on the electronic and magnetic properties of monolayer B2S2 through first-principles calculations. The calculated formation energies indicate that substitutional doping at the B site with various TM atoms could be achieved under S-rich growth conditions. What matters is that with the exception of systems doped with Cu, Tc, and Ag elements, which exhibit non-magnetic semiconductor properties, all other doped systems demonstrate magnetism. Specifically, the Cr-, Ni- and Pd-doped monolayers are magnetic half-metals, while the rest are magnetic semiconductors. We have also performed calculations of magnetic couplings between two TM atoms with an impurity concentration of 3.12%, revealing the prevalence of weak magnetic coupling in the majority of the magnetic systems examined. Moreover, the monolayers doped with Cr, Zr and Pd atoms exhibit ferromagnetic ground states. These findings strongly support the high potential for inducing magnetism in the B2S2 monolayer through B-site doping.

Abstract
Boron-based two-dimensional (2D) materials are an excellent platform for nanoelectronics applications. Rhombohedral boron monosulfide (r-BS) is attracting particular attention because of its unique layered crystal structure suitable for exploring various functional properties originating in the 2D nature. However, studies to elucidate its fundamental electronic states have been largely limited because only tiny powdered crystals were available, hindering a precise investigation by spectroscopy such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Here we report the direct mapping of the band structure with a tiny (∼20 × 20 μm2) r-BS powder crystal by utilizing microfocused ARPES. We found that r-BS is a p-type semiconductor with a band gap of >0.5 eV characterized by the anisotropic in-plane effective mass. The present results demonstrate the high applicability of micro-ARPES to tiny powder crystals and widen an opportunity to access the yet-unexplored electronic states of various novel materials.

Abstract
Two-dimensional materials have wide ranging applications in electronic devices and catalysts owing to their unique properties. Boron-based compounds, which exhibit a polymorphic nature, are an attractive choice for developing boron-based two-dimensional materials. Among them, rhombohedral boron monosulfide (r-BS) has recently attracted considerable attention owing to its unique layered structure similar to that of transition metal dichalcogenides and a layer-dependent bandgap. However, experimental evidence that clarifies the charge carrier type in the r-BS semiconductor is lacking. In this study, we synthesized r-BS and evaluated its performance as a semiconductor by measuring the Seebeck coefficient and photo-electrochemical responses. The properties unique to p-type semiconductors were observed in both measurements, indicating that the synthesized r-BS is a p-type semiconductor. Moreover, a distinct Fano resonance was observed in Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy, which was ascribed to the Fano resonance between the E(2) (TO) phonon mode and electrons in the band structures of r-BS, indicating that the p-type carrier was intrinsically doped in the synthesized r-BS. These results demonstrate the potential future application prospects of r-BS.
