Antibacterial properties and chemical stability of superhydrophobic silver-containing surface produced by sol–gel route

•Prepared superhydrophobic silver-containing surface show antibacterial activity.•The long-term chemical stability of the surfaces is good in near-neutral solutions.•The presence of silver can be monitored by open circuit measurements.•Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy provides data on degradat...
