proton doping

synonym: hydron doping
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08860
Transformation of a semiconducting or insulating material to conducting state by protonation (hydronation) of its molecules.
Note: The proton doping is crucial for polyanilines that are good conductors only in the protonated state. Deprotonation (dehydronation), as a reverse transformation is achieved by treating the doped polymer with an alkali.
