In this work, novel monolayers of 2D Janus SHfAZ2 (A═Si, Ge; Z═N, P, As) materials are introduced. These Janus structures are primarily investigated for their ability to exhibit adjustable electronic properties when subjected to biaxial strain and an applied electric field. At equilibrium, the four structures in the Janus SHfAZ2 monolayers all display indirect bandgap semiconductor properties, with the exception of the SHfGeN2 monolayer, which exhibits direct bandgap semiconductor properties. Under the influence of biaxial strain, the study observes that the electronic properties of all SHfAZ2 monolayers can be adjusted, transitioning from semiconductor to metallic properties when subjected to compressive strain. However, the SHfSiP2, SHfGeP2, and SHfGeAs2 monolayers show limited sensitivity to an applied electric field, with their electronic properties being modifiable solely under the influence of applied biaxial strain. In contrast, both the SHfSiAs2 and SHfGeN2 monolayers demonstrate the ability to modulate their electronic properties from semiconductors to metals when subjected to both biaxial strain and an applied electric field. Finally, the carrier mobility of these five structures is calculated. The outcomes of the research provide a solid theoretical foundation for the potential utilization of 2D Janus SHfAZ2 monolayers in electronic devices.

The critical challenges of the energy crisis and environmental degradation promote innovative approaches for energy conversion. Semiconductor‐based photocatalytic technology, which transforms solar energy into chemical energy, emerges as a promising solution. However, the practical application of this technology faces several challenges, such as the rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, significantly limiting photocatalytic efficiency. In this review, we provide a detailed discussion, an insightful perspective, and a critical evaluation of recent advances, challenges, and opportunities in the field of photocatalysis using polar materials. We present a comprehensive examination of the photocatalytic mechanisms, activity, and diverse applications of photocatalysts based on polar materials. We also briefly discuss the engineering design of polar photocatalysis in experiments and its scalability in the industry. This review outlines future trends and potential breakthroughs in the photocatalytic field using polar materials, projecting their transformative impact on environmental chemistry and energy engineering.
