Electrons moving in such low dimensional materials will exhibit fractional quantum statistics - they stop acting like fermions and start behaving more like bosons (i.e. they can superconduct).

High Tc superconductors exhibit the same low-dimensionality, though they achieve this by being Jahn-Teller distort lattices, not by being 2 nm thick.
