Abstract
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in 2019 led to the global COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the urgency for developing cost-effective and non-invasive methods to detect diseases at an early stage. Human breath, rich in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), is promising for cost-effective and rapid disease detection, with specific VOCs like methanol, ethanal, butanone, acetone, and ethyl butyrate linked to COVID-19. Recent advances in biomarker detection and gas sensing with 2D materials, particularly III-As monolayers like BAs, GaAs, and AlAs, offer high sensitivity at low concentrations, providing a novel avenue for exploring their potential in detecting COVID-19 biomarkers. This article aims to examine the effects of adsorption on different properties of III-Arsenide (BAs, GaAs and AlAs) monolayers, particularly in connection with SARS-CoV-2 biomarkers. In order to examine the interaction between the monolayers and biomarkers, first-principles computations within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) are utilized. The present study involves an investigation of the modifications in the band structure, density of states (DOS), work function, electron density difference, and optical properties (reflectance and absorbance) of III-As monolayers, with the aim of assessing their viability for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 biomarkers along with interfering gases such as CO2 and H2O. It is observed that VOCs induce a notable change in the work function of GaAs which serves as an indicator of the presence of these biomarkers. However, the changes in work function are not as substantial as those for AlAs and BAs. Additionally, the chemiresistive sensitivity, optical sensitivity and recovery time of III-As are investigated. The findings suggest that the pristine GaAs monolayer displays a significant level of sensitivity and selectivity towards the SARS-CoV-2 biomarkers, rendering it a material with potential for utilization in sensing applications. Furthermore, it has been observed that the recovery time of the GaAs monolayer subsequent to its exposure to the VOC biomarkers lies within an acceptable threshold. Upon exposure to UV light, the recovery time is further reduced. The outcomes of our study indicate that GaAs monolayers exhibit considerable potential as chemiresistive, work function-based and optical sensors for the precise and discerning identification of VOCs linked to the SARS-CoV-2 virus compared to the other two III-As monolayers.

Abstract
The selective oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde is a growing million-dollar industry, and has been commercial for close to a century. The Formox process, which is the largest production process today, utilizes an iron molybdate catalyst, which is highly selective, but has a short lifetime of 6 months due to volatilization of the active molybdenum oxide. Improvements of the process’s lifetime is, thus, desirable. This paper provides an overview of the efforts reported in the scientific literature to find alternative catalysts for the Formox process and critically assess these alternatives for their industrial potential. The catalysts can be grouped into three main categories: Mo containing, V containing, and those not containing Mo or V. Furthermore, selected interesting catalysts were synthesized, tested for their performance in the title reaction, and the results critically compared with previously published results. Lastly, an outlook on the progress for finding new catalytic materials is provided as well as suggestions for the future focus of Formox catalyst research.

Abstract
AbstractThe growth of ultrathin layers of VOx (< 12 monolayers) on Pt(111) and the activity of these layers in catalytic methanol oxidation at 10−4 mbar have been studied with low-energy electron diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, rate measurements, and with photoemission electron microscopy. Reactive deposition of V in O2 at 670 K obeys a Stranski–Krastanov growth mode with a (√3 × √3)R30° structure representing the limiting case for epitaxial growth of 3D-VOx. The activity of VOx/Pt(111) in catalytic methanol oxidation is very low and no redistribution dynamics is observed lifting the initial spatial homogeneity of the VOx layer. Under reaction conditions, part of the surface vanadium diffuses into the Pt subsurface region. Exposure to O2 causes part of the V to diffuse back to the surface, but only up to one monolayer of VOx can be stabilized in this way at 10−4 mbar.

Abstract
Screening of colorectal cancer is crucial for early stage diagnosis and treatment. Detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of the metabolome present in exhaled breath is a promising approach to screen colorectal cancer (CRC). Various forms of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that show the definitive signature for the different diseases including cancers are present in exhale breathe. Among all the reported CRC VOCs, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, 1,3-dimethyl- benzene and decanal are identified as the prominent ones that can be used as the signature for CRC screening. In the present investigation, detection of the four prominent VOCs related to CRC is explored using functionalized titania nanotubular arrays (TNAs)-based sensor. These signature biomarkers are shown to be detected using nickel-functionalized TNA as an electrochemical sensor. The sensing mechanism is based on the electrochemical interaction of nickel-functionalized nanotubes with signature biomarkers. A detailed mechanism of the sensor response is also presented.

Abstract
The ion/molecule reactions of molybdenum and tungsten dioxide cations with ethanol have been studied by Fourier transform ion-cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Dehydration of ethanol has been found as the dominant reaction channel, while generation of the ethyl cation corresponds to a minor product. Cleary, the reactions are mainly governed by the Lewis acidity of the metal center. Computational results, together with isotopic labeling experiments, show that the dehydration of ethanol can proceed either through a conventional concerted [1,2]-elimination mechanism or a step-wise process; the latter occurs via a hydroxyethoxy intermediate. Formation of C2 H5 (+) takes place by transfer of OH(-) from ethanol to the metal center of MO2 (+) . The molybdenum and tungsten dioxide cations exhibit comparable reactivities toward ethanol, and this is reflected in similar reaction rate constants and branching ratios.

Abstract
In catalytic methanol oxidation on ultrathin vanadium oxide layers on Rh(111) (Θ_{V}≈0.2 monolayer equivalent) we observe a 2D ripening of the VO_{x} islands that is controlled by the catalytic reaction. Neighboring VO_{x} islands move under reaction conditions towards each other and coalesce. The motion and the coalescence of the islands are explained by a polymerization-depolymerization equilibrium that is sensitive to gradients in the adsorbate coverages.

Abstract
The present study concerns development of an efficient alcohol sensor by controlling the stoichiometry, length, and wall thickness of electrochemically grown TiO2 nanotube array for its use as the sensing layer. Judicious variation of H2O content (0, 2, 10 and 100% by volume) in the mixed electrolyte comprising ethylene glycol and NH4F resulted into the desired variation of stoichiometry. The sensor study was performed within the temperature range of 27 to 250 °C for detecting the alcohols in the concentration range of 10-1000 ppm. The nanotubes grown with the electrolyte containing 2 vol % H2O offered the maximum response magnitude. For this stoichiometry, variation of corresponding length (1.25-2.4 μm) and wall thickness (19.8-9 nm) of the nanotubes was achieved by varying the anodization time (4-16 h) and temperatures (42-87 °C), respectively. While the variation of length influenced the sensing parameters insignificantly, the best response magnitude was achieved for ∼13 nm wall thickness. The underlying sensing mechanism was correlated with the experimental findings on the basis of structural parameters of the nanotubes.

Abstract
The mechanism of direct oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde by N2O has been theoretically investigated by means of density functional theory over an extra framework species in ZSM-5 zeolite represented by a [(SiH3)4AlO4](1-)[V-O](1+) cluster model. The catalytic reactivity of these species is compared with that of mononuclear (Fe-O)(1+) sites in ZSM-5 investigated in our earlier work at the same level of theory (J. Catal. 2011, 282, 191). The [V-O](1+) site in ZSM-5 zeolite shows an enhanced catalytic activity for the reaction. The calculated vibrational frequencies for grafted species on vanadium sites on the surface are in good agreement with the experimental values. According to the theoretical results obtained in this study the [V-O](1+) site in the ZSM-5 catalyst has an important role in the direct catalytic oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde by N2O.

Abstract
Four seemingly simple transformations related to the chemistry of methane will be addressed from mechanistic and conceptual points of view: 1) metal-mediated dehydrogenation to form metal carbene complexes, 2) the hydrogen-atom abstraction step in the oxidative dimerization of methane, 3) the mechanisms of the CH(4)→CH(3)OH conversion, and 4) the initial bond scission (C-H vs. O-H) as well as the rate-limiting step in the selective CH(3)OH→CH(2)O oxidation. State-of-the-art gas-phase experiments, in conjunction with electronic-structure calculations, permit identification of the elementary reactions at a molecular level and thus allow us to unravel detailed mechanistic aspects. Where appropriate, these results are compared with findings from related studies in solution or on surfaces.
