Two-dimensional materials have attracted tremendous attention due to their unique physical and chemical properties since the discovery of graphene. The novel properties of 2D materials spur fundamental studies and technological advancements for a wide range of applications such as optoelectronics, superconductors, and catalysis. Here, 2D materials (graphene, germanene, silicene and h-BN) and 2D transition metal dichalcogenides [Zr/Hf (S, Se and Te), MoS₂, WS₂ and WSe₂] have chosen for this study. All DFT calculations study in this work have carried out with slab models using Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP, version 5.4.4).

Firstly, we have studied the molecular adsorption and doping of Zr and Hf dichalcogenides to tune their electronic properties. One possible method to precisely tune the material properties of the atomically thin two-dimensional nanomaterials is to adsorb molecules on their surfaces as non-bonded dopants. Hence, molecular adsorption of NO₂ and NH₃ on two-dimensional Hf and Zr dichalcogenides (S, Se, Te) was examined. Adsorption configuration, energy, and charge transfer properties during molecular adsorption were calculated. In addition, the effects of the molecular dopants (NH₃ and NO₂) on the electronic structure of the materials are studied. It was observed that adsorbed NH₃ molecule donates electron to the conduction band of Hf (Zr) dichalcogenides, while NO₂ received electron from valence band. The resulting band structure of the molecularly doped Zr and Hf dichalcogenides are modulated by the molecular adsorbates. This confirms that the material properties of the substrates can be tuned by introducing molecular dopants such as NH₃ and NO₂ to TMDCs.

Extending our work, we have also studied deposition of Al₂O₃ based on four different precursors (TMA, TIBA, DMAI and ATIP) to understand what is going during reactions, to suggest an alternative precursor and what factors affect the deposition process through quantum simulation study. Thin films are essential in a large variety of modern equipment and technologies. One method of depositing thin film is atomic layer deposition (ALD), which is a unique technique to deposit ultrathin films in a controlled manner. While a right choice of the precursor is needed to make the film growth possible, the choice will also together with physicochemical properties are vital. Reaction wise, it was observed that for all precursors' chemisorption reactions are energetically favorable for the deposition of Al₂O₃ on MoS₂, WS₂ and WSe₂ materials. However, ATIP is less reactive on the substrate's surface due to its fragments are larger in size and hence increase steric hindrance. This may block the nearby active sites of the substrate's surface and results poor film deposition. Apparently, TIBA & DMAI precursors can be good alternative precursors in addition to TMA to grow Al₂O₃ successfully using water as a counter reactant.

Ended, we have also worked on the tendency of graphene, germanene, silicene and h-BN 2D nanomaterials to dissociate gas molecules (NH₃, PH₃, H₂O, H₂S and SO₂). Since adsorption occurrence, intermolecular forces which include van der Waals attraction or hydrogen bonding between the molecules and the substrate's surface as well as surface reactivity are considered crucial factors. It was observed that the physical adsorption of molecules on all these 2D materials shows similar patterns. Despite the difference in energy, the dissociation reaction of molecules on graphene, germanene and h-BN surfaces are endothermic. While all gas dissociation reactions on silicene are exothermic, suggesting that it is more reactive than others. In conclusion, graphene, germanene and silicene 2D materials can be used as a catalyst to dissociate gas molecules.

Generally, 2D materials are still demanding lots of work to dig out their versatile applications in various fields. In this regard, theoretical study using density functional theory can broaden understanding and outlooks about 2D materials potential applications. We believe that this dissertation work can shed light on the insights of functionalizing two-dimensional materials via molecular adsorption.
