Which mechanism causes increased conductivity in graphene nanoribbons functionalized with specific edge ligands?

💡 Explanation

When graphene nanoribbons are functionalized, specific edge ligands induce changes in the electronic structure; certain configurations cause an increase in orbital overlap which consequently reduces electron localization per quantum effects, and enhances conductivity. Therefore, suppressed electron localization results, rather than increased phonon scattering, heightened defect concentration, or quantum confinement, which imply different surface treatments.
