| contents | We present a comprehensive first-principles investigation into the gas sensing capabilities of a novel two-dimensional Indium Oxide (In2O3) monolayer, using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Targeting both resistive-type and work function based detection mechanisms, we evaluate interactions with ten hazardous gases (NH3, NO, NO2, SO2, CS2, H2S, HCN, CCl2O, CH2O, CO) as well as ambient molecules (O2, CO2, H2O). The monolayer shows pronounced sensitivity towards NO and H2S, and work function modulation enables detection of NH3 and HCN. Mechanical strain further broadens detection capability, enhancing adsorption and selectivity. These results establish 2D In2O3 as a tunable platform for next-generation miniaturized gas sensors for environmental monitoring and safety applications. |
