High‐quality charge‐transfer complex AgTCNQ nanowires have been successfully synthesized by a facile nanoelectrochemical approach utilizing carbon nanotube (CNT) electrodes. These nanowires have diameters of 30–80 nm and lengths of up to several tens of micrometers, and exhibit remarkable electrical switching bistability. The uniform and high aspect ratio nature of nanowires originates from the one‐dimensional structural feature and ultrasmall surface area of the CNTs.
