Large-area single-crystalline nanocone arrays of an organic charge-transfer complex: Controlling growth, characterization, and applications

摘要

Single-crystalline nanocone arrays of a charge-transfer complex (copper tetracyanoquinodimethane), which can be very sharp and exhibit excellent field-emission properties, are synthesized with large ares. Moreover, the surface of the nanocone array is superhydrophobic, suggesting its potential applications in water/moisture-resistant and contamination-free nanoelectronic devices.
