Resumo

Alpha-silver tungstate (alpha-Ag2WO4) has attracted much attention in recent years due to its unique crystal and electronic structures, which are suitable for a wide range of applications. This work presents a more realistic study, based on first-principles calculations and experimental results, of the potential of alpha-Ag(2)WO(4)for antibacterial and photocatalytic activity. alpha-Ag(2)WO(4)material has been successfully synthesized by a coprecipitation method and subjected to microwave irradiation for different times. The as-synthesized microcrystals were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction, while the morphological aspects were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The experimental studies and theoretical simulations of alpha-Ag2WO4, based on density functional theory calculations, have highlighted several key parameters (surface dependent) that determine the antibacterial (againstStaphylococcus aureus) and photocatalytic activity (for the degradation of rhodamine B) and provided some general principles for material design. We believe that our results offer new insights regarding the local coordination of superficial Ag and W atoms (i.e. clusters) on each exposed surface of the corresponding morphology, that dictate the antibacterial and photocatalytic activities of alpha-Ag2WO4, a field that has so far remained unexplored.
