Antibacterial agents are increasingly applied and demanded in numerous industries such as the pharmaceutical industry, food industry, and medical implantation. In some industries, antibacterial agents not only need to have good antibacterial properties but also need to meet other characteristics. This study explores the potential of various different metal particles in antibacterial aspects and reviews a new method for synthesizing high-entropy alloy oxide nanoparticles (HEO NPs), which is expected to possess the advantages of multiple metals while retaining the antibacterial properties of metals themselves. We tested the antibacterial properties of different phase alloy nanoparticles and discussed the influence of different metals on the antibacterial properties of metal oxide nanoparticles.
