The transport properties of a disordered two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattice are examined numerically using the spectral approach to the 2D percolation problem, characterized by an Anderson-type Hamiltonian. In our model, disorder is represented by two parameters: a distribution of random on-site energies ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{i}$ (positional disorder) and a concentration of doping energies $p$ (substitutional disorder). The results indicate the existence of extended energy states for nonzero disorder and the emergence of a transition towards localized behavior for critical doping concentration ${n}_{D}g0.3%$, in agreement with the experimentally observed metal-to-insulator transition in a graphene sheet doped with hydrogen.
