Compute band energies with respect to the vacuum level with QE

I want to calculate the band energies of a 2D material with respect to the vacuum level to normalize my band energies with Quantum Espresso. I found a post here, which was not really satisfying for me....

Is it possible to obtain the current-voltage characteristic for a crystal using the Hartree–Fock (or DFT) calculation? [closed]

In continuation of the question of obtaining an electrical conductivity tensor (ECT) from the “first characteristics”, will my following suggestion be correct? Since a crystal with an applied-to-it ...

Can the electrical conductivity tensor of a crystal be obtained from a Hartree-Fock calculation?

Let’s assume that a crystal has been calculated by Hartree–Fock (HF) method (or DFT one), i.d., so to speak, the "first characteristics", which are eigenvalues and eigenvectors, as well as ...

What are the more efficient, or easier, methods of handling electromagnetic interactions?

Since metals, metalloids, non-metals, and composites, have differing characteristics, plug-and-play methods, so to speak, would be useful. Also, as it’s well known that a moving electrical field ...
