Abstract High-performance quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) systems are crucial materials for exploring emerging quantum physics and magnetic topological phenomena. Inspired by layered FeSe materials with excellent superconducting properties, the Janus monolayers Fe$_{2}$SSe$X_{2}$ ($X ={\rm Ga}$, In and Tl) are built by the decoration of Ga, In and Tl atoms in monolayer Fe$_{2}$SSe. In first-principles calculations, Fe$_{2}$SSe$X_{2}$ have stable structures and prefer ferromagnetic (FM) ordering, and can be considered as Weyl semimetals without spin-orbit coupling. For out-of-plane (OOP) magnetic anisotropy, large nontrivial gaps are opened and the Fe$_{2}$SSe$X_{2}$ are predicted to be large-gap QAH insulators with a high Chern number $C = 2$, proved by two chiral edge states and Berry curvature. When the magnetization is flipped, the two chiral edge states can be simultaneously changed and $C =-2$ can be obtained, revealing the fascinating behavior of chiral spin-edge state locking. It is found that the QAH properties of Fe$_{2}$SSe$X_{2}$ are robust against strain. In particular, nontrivial topological quantum states can spontaneously appear for Fe$_{2}$SSeGa$_{2}$ and Fe$_{2}$SSeIn$_{2}$ because the orientations of the easy magnetic axis are adjusted from in-plane to OOP by the biaxial strain. Our studies provide excellent candidate systems to realize QAH properties with a high Chern number, and suggest more experimental explorations combining superconductivity and topology.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
