A general electrochemical strategy for synthesizing charge‐transfer complex micro‐/nanowires utilizing a carbon nanotube (CNT) electrode is demonstrated by Z. Liu and co‐workers on page 1209 . The background scanning electron microscopy image depicts high‐quality AgTCNQ nanowires grown from a CNT electrode. The uniform and high‐aspect‐ratio nature of thus‐grown charge‐transfer complex micro‐/nanowires intrinsically originates from the specific features of CNTs in terms of one‐dimensional structure and ultrasmall surface area with few or no defects.
