I am going to research about supercapacitors, and will be used the porous carbon nanomaterials as electrodes derived from polymers. As I read literatures they said heteroatoms such as B, N, O, P, S can improve the conductivity of the carbon nanomaterials, and resulted in the improving of the capacitive performance of the supercapacitors. I am wondering how these hetero atoms can improve the conductivity of the carbon porous materials. I would very appreciate if anyone can explain the mechanism of this or recommend some books or literatures. Thanks a lot.
yes they do to some extent.

Dear Awati, the hetero-atom doping induce redistribution of charge over the carbon skeleton by charge‐transfer with the heteroatoms, leading to the modification of electronic properties. You can see the article for more detailed info.
