Developing effective and low-cost enzyme-like nanomaterials to kill bacteria is vital for human health. Herein, nanorod-assembled NiCoOmicrospheres were prepared though a facile hydrothermal method, andshowed highly enhanced peroxidase-like activity compared to pure CoOdue to its large surface area and abundant active sites. The NiCoOpossess the ability to catalyze HOto generate large amounts of •O, which can be used for bacteriostatic applications. In particular, the antibacterial system combining the spiky NiCoOparticles and a low concentration of HO(100M) exhibits an excellent bacteriostatic efficiency against both(94.44%) and(93.45%).
