Nanoscale electrochemical switching device : A novel material comprising molecules of the azo‐dye Fast Black K (2,5‐dimethoxy‐4‐[(4‐nitrophenyl)azo]benzenediazonium chloride, FBK) covalently attached to multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is shown to form the basis of a nanoscale voltammetric switching device (see picture) for use in electronic nanocircuits, or alternatively, in high‐density memory storage devices. The FBK‐derivatised MWCNTs may also be used as a chemical release reagent.
