These two-dimensional ferroelectric materials, especially those exhibiting finite out-of-plane (OOP) polarizations, have garnered significant attention in both condensed matter physics and materials science. On one hand, they offer promising avenues for the miniaturization of ferroelectric devices. On the other hand, they reveal novel physical mechanisms that go beyond those found in conventional bulk ferroelectrics, enabling the emergence of OOP polarization under depolarization fields. Recent studies have identified various mechanisms capable of generating OOP polarization in monolayers, a phenomenon previously considered unlikely in traditional bulk materials like ferroelectric perovskites. This review article highlights the recent advancements in understanding two-dimensional ferroelectricity in monolayer candidates.

These hazardous gases are not only impacting the living beings but also the entire ecosystem. Thus, it becomes essential to monitor these gases for their efficient management. There are continuous efforts to realize such sensors, which rely on the functional materials properties. The widely used such sensors use metal oxide nanomaterials. However, these are not very sensitive and operate at higher temperatures. In contrast, two-dimensional (2D) materials such as Graphene, Borophene, MXenes, and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) including doping, functionalization, and heterostructures offer unique physical, chemical, and optoelectronic properties. The chemical properties with high specific surface area of 2D materials make them suitable for gas sensing applications. The present review covers the recent developments on 2D-layered material, including MoS₂, WS₂, h-BN, and Graphene, as well as their heterostructures for gas sensing applications. The review article also emphasizes their synthesis and characterization techniques, especially for 2D materials. The electronic properties of these materials are highly sensitive to any chemical changes, resulting in significant changes in their resistance. It led to the development of the highly scalable chemiresistive-based gas sensor. The sensing parameters such as sensitivity, selectivity, gas concentration, limit of detection, temperature, humidity, response, reproducibility, stability, recovery, and response time are discussed in detail to understand the gas sensing characteristics of these 2D materials.

A deeper understanding of the thermal transport properties of two-dimensional MOF materials is essential for these applications. In this work, we systematically studied the thermal transport properties of M₃(C₆O₆)₂(M = Fe, Co, Ni) by using a machine learning interatomic potential method combined with the phonon Boltzmann transport equation. The results show that the lattice thermal conductivities of Fe₃(C₆O₆)₂, Co₃(C₆O₆)₂, and Ni₃(C₆O₆)₂at room temperature are 4.0 W mK^-1, 5.5 W mK^-1, and 5.8 W mK^-1, respectively. The differences in thermal conductivity primarily arise from variations in phonon relaxation times, which can be elucidated by examining the three-phonon scattering phase space. Further analysis of bond strengths reveals that the strong bonding between Fe and O impedes phonon propagation through the oxygen atoms, resulting in lower lattice thermal conductivity.

In this phenomenon, the spin of the carriers will couple with the chirality of the system and exhibit special transport properties. The explanation of the mechanisms of CISS is still under debating, but it generally accepted that the chirality-induced spin-orbit coupling and the environment play pivotal roles. In addition, in such systems with strong electron-phonon coupling, the moving electrons and holes would interact with phonons to construct polarons as carriers. Therefore, to understand CISS it is needed to focus on the spin-related transport of the polarons. In this paper, we investigate the spin-charge property of a carrier in a chiral helix molecule described with an all-quantum model. Both the extended electron and bound states are obtained analytically. Our findings indicate that the spin and momentum of these carriers are locked, with the nature of this coupling being dictated by the chirality of the system.
