Charge-transfer complexes (CTCs), which comprise ordered assemblies of electron acceptor and donor units, represent a mature group advanced materials. These structures offer unique features, such as intrinsic conductivity, one-dimensional morphology, tailorable chemistry. To enable the exploitation CTCs for real-world applications, we investigate CTC nucleation growth develop scalable manufacturing methods their incorporation into electronic systems. In present work, combine features liquid metals (LMs) to galvanic electrocrystallization tetracyanoquinodimethane with silver (AgTCNQ) copper (CuTCNQ). The eutectic alloy gallium indium (EGaIn) has been shown be effective in nucleating crystals. EGaIn reduces TCNQ accumulates metallic precursors at LM/solution interface via reduction stabilization metal oxide nanoparticles. This enables efficient formation conductive crystals on patterned electronics without need an external input. AgTCNQ wirelike could transfer autogenous potential EGaIn, leading decoration Ag grow longer than CuTCNQ crystals, enabling interconnection tracks. knowledge opens new pathways crystallization direct
