← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased conductivity when graphene is doped with certain elements?
A)Increased electron-hole pair generation.
B)Overlap enhancement between p-orbitals.✓
C)Resonance stabilization of the lattice.
D)Formation of metallic nanoparticle inclusions.
💡 Explanation
When graphene is doped, the dopant atom's valence electrons contribute to or interact with graphene's π-system causing a change in the electron density and enhancement of overlap between p-orbitals enabling easier flow of the delocalized electrons and facilitating increased conductivity. Therefore overlap enhancement results, rather than altering pair generation, lattice resonance, or nanoparticle inclusions which require other mechanisms.
