Spinning a web : An electron acceptor (Ag nanoparticles) and electron donor (tetracyanoquinodimethane) can be incorporated in inert polymer nanofibers by electrospinning (see TEM image). The nanoparticles are synthesized in situ by the photochemical reduction of silver ions. The electrically bistable composite nanofibers, which are in a high‐impedance state, display an abrupt transition to a low‐impedance state under an external bias of 29 V.
