Article Abstract
Theoretical calculations based on the Density Functional Theory (DFT) have been performed to investigate the interaction of HS as well SO gaseous molecules at the surfaces of BeO and MgO nano-cages. The results show that a MgO nano-cage is a better sorbent than a BeO nano-cage for the considered gases. Moreover, the ability of SO gas to be adsorbed is higher than that of HS gas. The HOMO-LUMO gap (E) of BeO nano-cage is more sensitive to SO than HS adsorption, while the E value of MgO nano-cage reveals higher sensitivity to HS than SO adsorption. The molecular dynamic calculations show that the HS molecule cannot be retained at the surface of a BeO nano-cage within 300-700 K and cannot be retained on a MgO nano-cage at 700 K, while the SO molecule can be retained at the surfaces of BeO and MgO nano-cages up to 700 K. Moreover, the thermodynamic calculations indicate that the reactions between HS as well SO with BeO and MgO nano-cages are exothermic. Our results suggest that we can use BeO and MgO nano-cages as sorbents as well as sensors for HS and SO gases.

Direct wide-bandgap III-Ns and II-Os have recently gained considerable attention due to their unique electrical and chemical properties. These novel semiconductors are being explored to design short-wavelength light-emitting diodes, sensors/biosensors, photodetectors for integration into flexible transparent nanoelectronics/photonics to achieve high-power radio-frequency modules, and heat-resistant optical switches for communication networks. Knowledge of the elastic constants structural and mechanical properties has played crucial roles both in the basic understanding and assessing materials' use in thermal management applications.

A metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure is an attractive photoelectrode-catalyst architecture for promoting photoelectrochemical reactions, such as the formation of H by proton reduction. The metal catalyzes the generation of H using electrons generated by photon absorption and charge separation in the semiconductor. The insulator layer between the metal and the semiconductor protects the latter element from photo-corrosion and, also, significantly impacts the photovoltage at the metal surface.

Several metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) were already obtained by mixing NaOH solution with chloride solution of the corresponding metal to form metal hydroxide or oxide precipitates and wash-dry-calcine the latter. However, the complete list of metal oxide NPs is missing with which this technology works well. The aim of this study was to fill this knowledge gap and to provide a full list of possible metals for which this technology probably works well.

Article Synopsis
- The study used Density Functional Theory (DFT) to analyze how HS and SO gases interact with BeO and MgO nano-cages.
- MgO is found to be a better sorbent for these gases compared to BeO, with SO showing a stronger adsorption capability than HS.
- The results indicate that both types of nano-cages can act as effective sorbents and sensors for HS and SO gases due to their exothermic reactions.

Two-dimensional monolayer materials, with thicknesses of up to several atoms, can be obtained from almost every layer-structured material. It is believed that the catalogs of known 2D materials are almost complete, with fewer new graphene-like materials being discovered. Here, we report 2D graphene-like monolayers from monoxides such as BeO, MgO, CaO, SrO, BaO, and rock-salt structured monochlorides such as LiCl, and NaCl using first-principle calculations.
