Abstract: Organic molecule–two-dimensional material (OM–2D material) heterostructures are relatively an emergent class of hybrid-based electronic devices and yet have gained enormous interests. These systems hold promise towards application in the realization of electronic, optoelectronic and energy conversion devices, due to their tunable thickness, rich raw materials, flexibility, and also their capability to merge the high light absorption efficiency of organic molecules and the high carrier mobility of 2D materials. Dielectric screening effects have a large influence on electronic structure and optical properties at the OM–2D material interface due to the low intrinsic dielectric polarizability of both organic molecules and 2D materials. Here, we will review current knowledge about the dielectric screening behaviors in 2D materials and the screening effect at the OM–2D material heterointerfaces, including the physical origin of the dielectric screening effect across such interfaces, how to investigate it, and the influence of the screening effect on OM–2D material interfaces. Engineering of the dielectric screening effects in OM–2D material systems is also discussed. We conclude the review by illustrating a brief introduction of other important factors, e.g. defects, charge transfer, and hybridization, that will contribute to the screening effect and these features should be considered for the future scientific and device development of OM–2D material heterostructures.
