The chemical reaction between Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and 7,7′,8,8′- tetracycanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) microparticles (MPs) in aqueous solution for the formation of Ag-NP-decorated Ag–TCNQ nanowires is reported. Based on the results obtained by UV–vis spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (...
