Bottom-up fabrication of graphene antidot lattices (GALs) has previously yielded atomically precise structures with sub-nanometer periodicity. Focusing on this type of experimentally realized GAL, we perform density functional theory calculations on the pristine structure as well as GALs with edge carbon atoms substituted with boron or nitrogen. We show that p- and n-type doping levels emerge with activation energies that depend on the level of hydrogenation at the impurity. Furthermore, a tight-binding parameterization together with a Green's function method are used to describe more dilute doping.
