Techniques for reducing the resistivity of carbon nanotube and graphene materials are provided. In one aspect, a method of producing a doped carbon film having reduced resistivity is provided. The method includes the following steps. A carbon material selected from the group consisting of: a nanotube, graphene, fullerene and pentacene is provided. The carbon material and a dopant solution comprising an oxidized form of ruthenium bipyridyl are contacted, wherein the contacting is carried out under conditions sufficient to produce the doped carbon film having reduced resistivity. |
