from the input description that you can find at
http://www.quantum-espresso.org/wp-content/uploads/Doc/INPUT_PW.html
i would say bc1 is probably what you want.

esm_bc     CHARACTER
Default:     'pbc'
See:     assume_isolated
    If assume_isolated = 'esm', determines the boundary
    conditions used for either side of the slab.

    Currently available choices:
    'pbc' :
         (default): regular periodic calculation (no ESM).
    'bc1' :
         Vacuum-slab-vacuum (open boundary conditions).
    'bc2' :
        Metal-slab-metal (dual electrode configuration).
        See also esm_efield.
    'bc3' :
        Vacuum-slab-metal

Dear Stefano,

Thank you for clarification. What boundary conditions are good for 2D materials? pbd or bc1?

Thank you.

    Dear Rajesh,

    quantum espresso is a periodic code. PBC are the default.
    you'll find options to remove (or account for) interaction with
    periodic replicas.

    Dear users

    How can I employ periodic boundary conditions in quamtum espresso?
    I dont find any option in pwgui for pbc.

    Thank you.
