The symposium will broadly cover current research on emerging heterostructures consisting of different layers interacting via van der Waals forces that can be employed in sustainable electronics. Examples of these architectures are two-dimensional (2D) materials deposited on non- or weakly-interacting substrates, molecular layers deposited on a 2D material, film of inorganic nanotubes deposited on a 2D material or heterostructures made solely of 2D materials. The symposium is divided into three parts. The first one will focus on the application of heterostructures in the field of neuromorphic computing, energy-efficient transistors and low-power memory devices. The second one will be dedicated to their use in the field of energy harvesting, with special attention to photovoltaic devices based on heterostructures comprising perovskites. Finally, the third one will cover the aspects of growth as well as properties, modelling and advanced characterization of various heterostructures between 2D materials. Therefore, the symposium will provide state-of-the-art research on various aspects of van der Waals layered heterostructures for sustainable electronics bringing together physicists, chemists, computer scientists and engineers from both academia and industry with the goal of bridging the gap between them. Symposium contributions should address fundamental science issues, including material properties and device configuration, or address challenges towards the development of practical applications from these emerging materials. Furthermore, a tutorial will be given by the company Synopsis regarding modelling of electronics based on stacked 2D devices.
