Advances in two-dimensional green materials for organic electronics applications

In the present contribution, we discuss and review the main fundamental properties of some relevant carbonaceous and organic, environmentally friendly, two-dimensional layered materials in view of their possible applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and photonics. Moving from a theoretical standpoint, we discuss recent progress paying particular attention to results obtained by means of ab initio state-of-the-art approaches, at different levels of theoretical approximation, and how such methods can describe the fundamental microscopic properties of these materials, essential ingredient for any technological application. Then, combining the experimental and theoretical side, we discuss the technological applications that such layered materials may have when combined with other materials to form heterostructures.
