Graphene and Beyond-Graphene 2D Crystals for Next-Generation Green Electronics

In this paper, we first review the impressive properties of two-dimensional (2D) nanocrystals, primarily graphene and beyond-graphene 2D crystals, such as transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and then highlight some applications uniquely enabled by these materials for designing next-generation low-power and low-loss green electronics. Key challenges of 2D crystals relevant to such applications are discussed as well.
