Through the use of preformed tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) particles and 7,7′,8,8′-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) microstructures as starting materials, the postchemistry of organic particles has been demonstrated for the first time in aqueous solution. The as-synthesized TTF−TCNQ nanowires show stable performance in organic nonvolatile memory devices with multiple write−read−erase−read cycles in air.
