“…Delafossite type oxides Cu I M III O 2 with M = (Fe, Al, Ga, Cr…) due to their large range of properties and the abundance of their constituent elements in the nature, have been studied for several applications such as transparent p-type conducting oxides (TCO) [10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17], transparent electronic devices [18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25], dye-sensitized solar cells [26,27,28,29], and photoelectrodes [30] but also for outstanding catalysis [31] and photo-catalysis [31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41], antibacterial [42], luminescence [43,44,45], gas and temperature sensing [46,47,48,49], magnetic and electric [50,51,52,53,54], energy storage [55], oxygen storage [56], water reduction [57], thermoelectricity and superconductivity [58] properties. In the oxide family, the cation Cu I is a monovalent metal and the cation M III is a trivalent metal.…”
