摘要

Silver and copper oxides are considered as good candidates for antibacterial application. This work prepares AgO–CuO samples using aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD). There are two pure samples of AoO and CuO, and three samples fabricated with different metal percentages AgO (25%)–CuO (75%), AgO (50%)–CuO (50%), and AgO (75%)–CuO (25%) with thickness around 460 nm. The structural properties and surface topography were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The XRD shows that thin films have a polycrystalline nature and multiphase cubic and monoclinic structures. The samples roughness, in SEM images, shows there is a direct interaction between the samples and bacteria. The best sample was AgO (75%)–CuO (25%) in terms of interaction with bacteria.
