Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) … … are very important materials in the field of electrochemistry, with great promise for sensors and energy‐storage devices. In their Communication on page 804 ff., E. J. E. Stuart and M. Pumera report that nanographite impurities contained within the nanotubes have a profound influence on their electrochemistry. The above picture shows nanographitic impurities reducing the azo group with the contrasting background of the Japanese symbol of purity, the Sakura blossom.
