Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing an antibacterial photocatalytic ceramic that comprises: —making available at least one amorphous metal; —making available a biomimetic material or a biomaterial based on calcium phosphate; —functionalizing said biomimetic material or said biomaterial based on calcium phosphate, with said at least one amorphous metal, obtaining a functionalized and oriented composite; —adding said functionalized composite to a ceramic mixture, and/or applying said functionalized composite on a ceramic semi-finished product, where ceramic semi-finished product means the ceramic material before baking; —applying said functionalized composite on a ceramic semi-finished product; —baking at a temperature between 600 and 1400° C., preferably between 900 and 1300° C., for a time that varies from 20 to 500 minutes, obtaining an antibacterial photocatalytic ceramic.
