Copper oxidation was followed by X‐Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy without and after addition of Zn. The antibacterial behavior was investigated against Escherichia coli DH5α strain to demonstrate the prolonged antibacterial activity of AgCu‐Zn nanoclusters compared to AgCu.EnglishAgCu nanoalloysAntibacterial nanoparticlesSacrifical anodeX‐ray photoelectron spectroscopyAgCu‐Zn nanoclustersZn prolongs the stability of antibacterial silver‐copper nanoalloysArticle2328-1642
