Boost antimicrobial effect of CTAB-capped NixCu1−xO (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) nanoparticles by reformed optical and dielectric characters

Chemical doping and coating have been considered as efficient semiconductor physics strategies to modulate the physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials for the required applications. In this study, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) stabilizer-capped nickel-doped cupric oxide (NixCu1−xO) nanoparticles (NPs) with different doping concentrations (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) were synthesized via a one-step rapid and low-cost solvothermal...
