where the pre-exponential ν 0 is the attempt frequency set at 10 12 s -1 , a value commonly adopted for small molecules . The calculated recovery rates are presented in Table . As anticipated, weak adsorption interaction on pristine MoTe 2 leads to a very rapid recovery. In contrast, for Sb-MoTe 2 , the recovery time at 300 K exceeds 50 days, with even lengthier durations for other more chemically active sheets. Nevertheless, considering its adsorption energy of -1.11 eV, Sb-MoTe 2 could still achieve a reasonable recovery time below one minute if heated to 400 K. On the other hand, Sn-MoTe 2 and P-MoTe 2 would require temperatures surpassing 500 K and 700 K, respectively, owing to the even stronger binding of the adsorbate. Conversely, for group 17 elements, Pb and Bi, the sensory recovery time is significantly faster at 300 K, with values ranging between 0.01 and 2 seconds. This, coupled with their excellent sensitivity, positions these dopants as particularly promising strategies for enhanced sensing at room temperature. Taken together, the effects of doping on adsorption can be categorized into five types. The first one being adsorption akin to pristine monolayer, which was observed for group 16 dopants. Representative example of Se-MoTe 2 is shown in Figure . For this group, adsorption interaction remains limited, with only slight increase over the pristine monolayer. The effects of doping are mostly result of slightly enhanced vdW and electrostatics effects. Therefore, these dopants are not able to notably improve detection or catalysis. The second category, B-MoTe 2 shown on Figure , is the single case of dissociation of O 2 molecule, leading to creation of two new bonds with the dopant atom and oxygen atoms. Boron doping led to the greatest increase in local chemical activity, which in turn, facilitated the strongest adsorption of all investigated dopants. Observed effects of boron doping indicate that this dopant have the potential in surface catalysis applications. Conversely, the possibility of utilizing it for detection is significantly limited by the molecule's tendency to dissociate and dramatically increased adsorption strength, despite its substantial charge transfer capability. The third category, are the dopants that greatly increased the adsorption strength and charge transfer, without leading to molecule dissociation. These are, for example, Al-, Si-or P-MoTe 2 , with O 2 @Al-MoTe 2 shown in Figure . Here, we note big potential for surface catalysis, but similarly as it was with B-MoTe 2 , limited use in detection due to strong adsorption, which would negatively impact layer desorption capabilities and diffusion in room temperature. Even for Sb-MoTe 2 , which facilitates the weakest molecule-sheet interaction within the group, the recovery times is too long to use in sensing (see Table ). The fourth category, includes group 17 doped sheets, with O 2 @F-MoTe 2 shown as an representative example in Figure . In those cases, the molecule adsorbs in such a configuration that both O atoms adsorb at a similar distance to the dopant. Dopant-molecule interaction is visibly strengthened, with slight increase in d X-O , compared to pristine layer. Moreover, closer investigation of charge accumulation on molecule, showed similar values for both oxygens, indicating three-center bond, similar to that observed in our other work on Cl 2 @Br-MoTe 2 . As a result, all investigated atoms from group 17, share moderately enhanced values of E ads and high ∆Q ads . This combination of parameters makes these sheets perfect candidates for detection as indicated by high changes in carrier concentration and fast recovery (see Table ). However, weak effects on the O-O bonding rule them out from applications in catalysis. Lastly, the fifth category includes Pb and Bi doped sheets, with O 2 @Pb-MoTe 2 shown in Figure . Those elements increase the adsorption strength and charge transfer, and decreased the distance between O 2 and dopant. However, since the molecule-sheet interaction is
