The article discusses a study which invetsigates the functionalization of singled-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with pendant pyrene functional groups. It explains the characterization of pyrene-pendant transition metal complex, Cobalt bis, through electrochemical analysis. It evaluates the absorption of Cobalt bis on a SWNT coated with Platinum (Pt).
