"Spontaneous electrolysis" and simultaneously assembly hierarchy nanostructures of copper tetracyanoquinodimethane.
A simple method was developed to generate nanolamellas of CuTCNQ based on the principle of "spontaneous electrolysis". The nanolamellas were identified to belong to phase I of CuTCNQ. Intermediate products before nanolamellas were monitored with this method and beautiful artificial flowers were assembled based on the "spontaneous electrolysis." Moreover, CuTCNQ nanocrystal arrays could be grown on TCNQ single crystal surface homogeneously, which suggested a new method to assembly nanomaterials on crystal surface.
