Unraveling the Formation of Ternary AgCuSe Crystalline Nanophases and Their Potential as Antibacterial Agents

AgCuSe nanoparticles could contribute to the growth of strongly light-absorbing thin films and solids with fast ion mobility, among other potential properties. Nevertheless, few methods have been developed so far for the synthesis of AgCuSe nanoparticles, and those reported deliver nanostructures wi...

Notably, in this lower size range the conucleation and growth of two stoichiometric ternary compounds are generally observed, namely the well-known eucairite AgCuSe compound and the novel fischesserite-like Ag3CuSe2 phase, the latter being less thermodynamically stable as predicted computationally and assessed experimentally. An optimal range of Cu/Ag precursor molar ratio has been identified to ensure the growth of ternary nanoparticles and, more specifically, that of the metastable Ag3CuSe2 nanophase isolated for the first occasion.
