contents Two-dimensional Janus transition-metal chalcogenide -hydrides (2D-JTMCs) feature a three layered structure, with a central layer of transition metal atoms, with chalcogenides below and hydogens above. This asymmetry endows 2D-JTMCs with unique and tunable electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. In this paper, we systematically investigate two-dimensional hexagonal 2H and 1T Janus transition metal chalcogenide (JTMC) hydrides (MXH), with M = Ti, Zr, Hf, and X = S, Se, Te. These JTMCs exhibit metallic behavior with single band crossings at the Fermi level, primarily dominated by transition metal d orbitals and phonon stability, evidenced by DFPT calculations. We estimate Tc using the Allen-Dynes formula and the closing superconducting gap by solving anisotropic gap equations of the Migdal-Eliashberg equations. Calculated Tc values for these materials range from 10 K to 35 K.
