Abstract Design and fabrication of smart switchable nanofluidic diodes remains a challenge in the life and materials sciences. Here, we present the first example of a novel Zn 2+ /EDTA switchable nanofluidic diode system based on the control of one‐side of the modified hourglass‐shaped nanochannel with salicylaldehyde Schiff base (SASB). The nanofluidic diode can be turned on in the response of Zn 2+ and turned off in response to EDTA solution with good reversibility and recyclability.
