Also, through transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) analysis, the transformation of the morphology and particle size of copper selenide nanoparticles in aqueous solution was studied. In addition, we present an antimicrobial study with different microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Candida albiacans (C. albicans). Copper selenide nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry analysis (DSC) and TEM. XRD confirmed the crystal-line structure of the nanoparticles such as cubic berzelanite with a particle size of 6 nm \u00b1 0.5. FTIR and TGA corroborated the surface modification of copper selenide nanoparticles with gum arabic, and DSC suggested a change in the structural phase from cubic to hexagonal. TEM analysis demonstrated that the surface modification of the Cu2-x Se NPs stabilized the nanostructure of the particles, preventing changes in the morphology and particle size. The antimicrobial susceptibility analysis of copper selenide nanoparticles indicated that they have the ability to inhibit the microbial growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano14131151","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,4]],"date-time":"2024-07-04T09:50:32Z","timestamp":1720086632000},"page":"1151","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Synthesis and Superficial Modification \u201cIn Situ\u201d of Copper Selenide (Cu2-x Se) Nanoparticles and Their Antibacterial Activity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0216-6667","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Manuel","family":"Mata-Padilla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Qu\u00edmica Aplicada, Blvd. Enrique Reyna 140, Saltillo 25294, Coahuila, Mexico"},{"name":"CONAHCYT-Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Qu\u00edmica Aplicada, Blvd. Enrique Reyna 140, Saltillo 25294, Coahuila, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 \u00c1ngel","family":"Led\u00f3n-Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Qu\u00edmica Aplicada, Blvd. Enrique Reyna 140, Saltillo 25294, Coahuila, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1276-4230","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marissa","family":"P\u00e9rez-Alvarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Qu\u00edmica Aplicada, Blvd. Enrique Reyna 140, Saltillo 25294, Coahuila, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2692-4995","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gregorio","family":"Cadenas-Pliego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Qu\u00edmica Aplicada, Blvd. Enrique Reyna 140, Saltillo 25294, Coahuila, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1971-4030","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Enrique D\u00edaz","family":"Barriga-Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Qu\u00edmica Aplicada, Blvd. Enrique Reyna 140, Saltillo 25294, Coahuila, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1257-1287","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Odilia","family":"P\u00e9rez-Camacho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Qu\u00edmica Aplicada, Blvd. Enrique Reyna 140, Saltillo 25294, Coahuila, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9559-0976","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christian Javier","family":"Cabello-Alvarado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Qu\u00edmica Aplicada, Blvd. Enrique Reyna 140, Saltillo 25294, Coahuila, Mexico"},{"name":"CONAHCYT-Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Qu\u00edmica Aplicada, Blvd. Enrique Reyna 140, Saltillo 25294, Coahuila, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0064-9558","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rodolfo","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico, Instituto de Ingenier\u00eda UNAM, Ciudad Universitaria, M\u00e9xico City 04510, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Jard\u00f3n-Maximino, N., P\u00e9rez-Alvarez, M., Cadenas-Pliego, G., Lugo-Uribe, L.E., Cabello-Alvarado, C., Mata-Padilla, J.M., and Barriga-Castro, E.D.
