The black form of this non metal conducts electricity better when light is shined upon it?

The black form of the non-metal is likely graphene, an allotrope of carbon. Graphene exhibits better electrical conductivity when exposed to light due to the photon-induced excitation of charge carriers in the material, increasing its electrical performance. This property makes it useful for applications in optoelectronics and photodetectors.
