What is A facile novel synthesis of AgCuO2 delafossite nanoparticles and evaluation of their antimicrobial activity about?

## Abstract Bi-functional nano-oxides are of growing interest to address environmental issues. In the present study, the structural and magnetic data are presented together with the antimicrobial activities (AMA). For the first time, silver delafossite oxide (AgCuO~2~) is successfully fabricated using a simple, low-cost technique to target antibiotic photodegradation and inactivation of model waterborne pathogens. It is prepared with an equimolar initial Ag^+^:Cu^+^ concentration ratio. The structure, morphology, and magnetic properties are studied by different characterization techniques. The size and shape of AgCuO~2~ NPs, in addition to their structural polytypes of 2H (hexagonal) or 3R (rhombohedral), are dependent on the preparation conditions. The existence of Cu, Ag, and O in the synthesized delafossite AgCuO~2~ NPs with no evidence of any impurity is ratified by the XPS spectrum. AFM measurements are taken to characterize the surface morphologies of AgCuO~2~. The distributed spiks are evaluated by roughness kurtosis (Rku). The roughness kurtosis has a value of 2.65 (< 3), indicating that the prepared sample is classified as bumpy. The prepared sample has 13.0, 10.0, 14.0, a
