Abstract
The demands of human life and industrial activities result in a significant influx of toxic contaminants into aquatic ecosystems. In particular, organic pollutants such as antibiotics and dye molecules, bacteria, and heavy metal ions are represented, posing a severe risk to the health and continued existence of living organisms. The method of removing pollutants from water bodies by utilizing the principle of the piezoelectric effect in combination with chemical catalytic processes is superior to other wastewater purification technologies because it can collect water energy, mechanical energy, etc. to achieve cleanliness and high removal efficiency. Herein, we briefly introduced the piezoelectric mechanisms and then reviewed the latest advances in the design and synthesis of piezoelectric materials, followed by a summary of applications based on the principle of piezoelectric effect to degrade pollutants in water for wastewater purification. Moreover, water purification technologies incorporating the piezoelectric effect, including piezoelectric effect-assisted membrane filtration, activation of persulfate, and battery electrocatalysis are elaborated. Finally, future challenges and research directions for the piezoelectric effect are proposed.

Piezoelectrically-activated antibacterial catheter for prevention of urinary tract infections in an on-demand manner. Mater Today Bio 2024; 26:101089.

Abstract
Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a common clinical problem, especially during long-term catheterization, causing additional pain to patients. The development of novel antimicrobial coatings is needed to prolong the service life of catheters and reduce the incidence of CAUTIs. Herein, we designed an antimicrobial catheter coated with a piezoelectric zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs)-incorporated polyvinylidene difluoride-hexafluoropropylene (ZnO-PVDF-HFP) membrane. ZnO-PVDF-HFP could be stably coated onto silicone catheters simply by a one-step solution film-forming method, very convenient for industrial production. In vitro, it was demonstrated that ZnO-PVDF-HFP coating could significantly inhibit bacterial growth and the formation of bacterial biofilm under ultrasound-mediated mechanical stimulation even after 4 weeks. Importantly, the on and off of antimicrobial activity as well as the strenth of antibacterial property could be controlled in an adaptive manner via ultrasound. In a rabbit model, the ZnO-PVDF-HFP-coated catheter significantly reduced the incidence CAUTIs compared with clinically-commonly used catheters under assistance of ultrasonication, and no side effect was detected. Collectively, the study provided a novel antibacterial catheter to prevent the occurrence of CAUTIs, whose antibacterial activity could be controlled in on-demand manner, adaptive to infection situation and promising in clinical application.

Abstract
Cellular senescence, a vulnerable state of growth arrest, has been regarded as a potential strategy to weaken the resistance of tumor cells, leading to dramatic improvements in treatment efficacy. However, a selective and efficient strategy for inducing local tumor cellular senescence has not yet been reported. Herein, piezoelectric catalysis is utilized to reduce intracellular NAD+ to NADH for local tumor cell senescence for the first time. In detail, a biocompatible nanomedicine (BTO/Rh-D@M) is constructed by wrapping the piezoelectric BaTiO3/(Cp*RhCl2)2 (BTO/Rh) and doxorubicin (DOX) in the homologous cytomembrane with tumor target. After tumors are stimulated by ultrasound, negative and positive charges are generated on the BTO/Rh by piezoelectric catalysis, which reduce the intracellular NAD+ to NADH for cellular senescence and oxidize H2O to reactive oxygen species (ROS) for mitochondrial damage. Thus, the therapeutic efficacy of tumor immunogenic cell death-induced chemo-immunotherapy is boosted by combining cellular senescence, DOX, and ROS. The results indicate that 23.9% of the piezoelectric catalysis-treated tumor cells senesced, and solid tumors in mice disappeared completely after therapy. Collectively, this study highlights a novel strategy to realize cellular senescence utilizing piezoelectric catalysis and the significance of inducing tumor cellular senescence to improve therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Currently, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-induced osteomyelitis is a clinically life-threatening disease, however, long-term antibiotic treatment can lead to bacterial resistance, posing a huge challenge to treatment and public health. In this study, glucose-derived carbon spheres loaded with zinc oxide (ZnO@HTCS) are successfully constructed. This composite demonstrates the robust ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under ultrasound (US) irradiation, eradicating 99.788% ± 0.087% of MRSA within 15 min and effectively treating MRSA-induced osteomyelitis infection. Piezoelectric force microscopy tests and finite element method simulations reveal that the ZnO@HTCS composite exhibits superior piezoelectric catalytic performance compared to pure ZnO, making it a unique piezoelectric sonosensitizer. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the formation of a Mott-Schottky heterojunction and an internal piezoelectric field within the interface accelerates the electron transfer and the separation of electron-hole pairs. Concurrently, surface vacancies of the composite enable the adsorption of a greater amount of oxygen, enhancing the piezoelectric catalytic effect and generating a substantial quantity of ROS. This work not only presents a promising approach for augmenting piezoelectric catalysis through construction of a Schottky heterojunction interface but also provides a novel, efficient therapeutic strategy for treating osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Piezoelectric catalysis is a novel catalytic technology that has developed rapidly in recent years and has attracted extensive interest among researchers in the field of tumor therapy for its acoustic-sensitizing properties. Nevertheless, researchers are still controversial about the key technical difficulties in the modulation of piezoelectric sonosensitizers for tumor therapy applications, which is undoubtedly a major obstacle to the performance modulation of piezoelectric sonosensitizers. Clarification of this challenge will be beneficial to the design and optimization of piezoelectric sonosensitizers in the future. Here, the authors start from the mechanism of piezoelectric catalysis and elaborate the mechanism and methods of defect engineering and phase engineering for the performance modulation of piezoelectric sonosensitizers based on the energy band theory. The combined therapeutic strategy of piezoelectric sonosensitizers with enzyme catalysis and immunotherapy is introduced. Finally, the challenges and prospects of piezoelectric sonosensitizers are highlighted. Hopefully, the explorations can guide researchers toward the optimization of piezoelectric sonosensitizers and can be applied in their own research.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a non-invasive strategy for generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and is promising for cancer treatment. However, increasing ROS in tumor therapy remains challenging. Therefore, exogenous excitation and inhibition of electron-hole pair recombination are attractive for modulating ROS storms in tumors. Herein, a Ce-doped BiFeO3 (CBFO) piezoelectric sonosensitizer to modulate ROS generation and realize a synergistic mechanism of CDT/sonodynamic therapy and piezodynamic therapy (PzDT) is proposed. The mixed Fe2+ and Ce3+ can implement a circular Fenton/Fenton-like reaction in the tumor microenvironment. Abundant ·OH can be generated by ultrasound (US) stimulation to enhance CDT efficacy. As a typical piezoelectric sonosensitizer, CBFO can produce O2 - owing to the enhanced polarization by the US, resulting in the motion of charge carriers. In addition, CBFO can produce a piezoresponse irradiated upon US, which accelerates the migration rate of electrons/holes in opposite directions and results in energy band bending, further achieving toxic ROS production and realizing PzDT. Density functional theory calculations confirmed that Ce doping shortens the diffusion of electrons and improves the conductivity and catalytic activity of CBFO. This distinct US-enhanced strategy emphasizes the effects of doping engineering and piezoelectric-optimized therapy and shows great potential for the treatment of malignant tumors.

Abstract
Bacterial-infected wound repair has become a significant public health concern. This study developed a novel 3D-printed piezocatalytic SF-MA/PEGDA/Ag@BT (SPAB) hydrogels were fabricated by using digital light processing. These hydrogels exhibited high consistency, mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. Besides, the SPAB hydrogels exhibited excellent piezocatalytic performance and thus could induce piezoelectric polarization under ultrasound to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). The SPAB hydrogels possessed an antibacterial rate of 99.23% and 99.96% for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively, under 5 min of ultrasonic stimulation (US) in vitro. The US-triggered piezocatalytic performance could increase antibacterial activity and improve the healing process of the infected wound. Therefore, the 3D printed piezocatalytic SPAB hydrogels could be unutilized as wound dressing in the field of bacterial-infected wound repair.

Abstract
The atherosclerotic vulnerable plaque is characterized by the foamy macrophage burden, involving impaired cholesterol efflux and deficient efferocytosis. Correspondingly, piezocatalytic therapy is an emerging solution for eliminating the foamy macrophage burden with satisfactory spatiotemporal controllability and deep penetration depth. Herein, a biomimetic Trojan horse (Au-ZnO@MM) is engineered by coating the macrophage membrane (MM) onto the surface of a rod-like Au-ZnO Schottky Junction to effectively relieve the atherosclerotic progression. These Trojan horses with the coating of MM are actively transported into subsistent foamy macrophages and generate abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) via ultrasound-activated piezocatalysis. ROS-initiated autophagy and mitochondrial dysfunction induce substantial cell apoptosis, alleviating the burden of subsistent foamy macrophages. The resulting apoptotic fragments further significantly facilitate cholesterol excretion and trigger efferocytosis of intraplaque fresh macrophages. Ultimately, the biomimetic Au-ZnO@MM piezocatalyst not only inhibits the foaming capacity of macrophages, but also improves the function of removing cell debris, which can stabilize atherosclerotic vulnerable plaque. Meanwhile, the plasmon resonance effect of integrated gold nanoparticles enables favorable photoacoustic molecular imaging for real-time image-guided atherosclerotic therapy. This proposed biomimetic Trojan horse strategy provides the paradigm of employing ultrasound-activated piezocatalytic methodology for enhanced atherosclerotic theranostics.

Abstract
Relieving inflammation via scavenging toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the acute phase of spinal cord injury (SCI) proves to be an effective strategy to mitigate secondary spinal cord injury and improve recovery of motor function. However, commonly used corticosteroid anti-inflammatory drugs show adverse side effects which may induce increased risk of wound infection. Fortunately, hydrogen (H2), featuring selective antioxidant performance, easy penetrability, and excellent biosafety, is being extensively investigated as a potential anti-inflammatory therapeutic gas for the treatment of SCI. In this work, by a facile in situ growth approach of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the piezoelectric BaTiO3, a particulate nanocomposite with Schottky heterojunction (Au@BT) is synthesized, which can generate H2 continuously by catalyzing H+ reduction through piezoelectric catalysis. Further, theoretical calculations are employed to reveal the piezoelectric catalytic mechanism of Au@BT. Transcriptomics analysis and nontargeted large-scale metabolomic analysis reveal the deeper mechanism of the neuroprotective effect of H2 therapy. The as-prepared Au@BT nanoparticle is first explored as a flexible hydrogen gas generator for efficient SCI therapy. This study highlights a promising prospect of nanocatalytic medicine for disease treatments by catalyzing H2 generation; thus, offering a significant alternative to conventional approaches against refractory spinal cord injury.

Transcranial Magneto-Acoustic Stimulation Protects Synaptic Rehabilitation from Amyloid-Beta Plaques via Regulation of Microglial Functions. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4651.

Abstract
Transcranial magneto-acoustic stimulation (TMAS), which is characterized by high spatiotemporal resolution and high penetrability, is a non-invasive neuromodulation technology based on the magnetic-acoustic coupling effect. To reveal the effects of TMAS treatment on amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaque and synaptic plasticity in Alzheimer's disease, we conducted a comparative analysis of TMAS and transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) based on acoustic effects in 5xFAD mice and BV2 microglia cells. We found that the TMAS-TUS treatment effectively reduced amyloid plaque loads and plaque-associated neurotoxicity. Additionally, TMAS-TUS treatment ameliorated impairments in long-term memory formation and long-term potentiation. Moreover, TMAS-TUS treatment stimulated microglial proliferation and migration while enhancing the phagocytosis and clearance of Aβ. In 5xFAD mice with induced microglial exhaustion, TMAS-TUS treatment-mediated Aβ plaque reduction, synaptic rehabilitation improvement, and the increase in phospho-AKT levels were diminished. Overall, our study highlights that stimulation of hippocampal microglia by TMAS treatment can induce anti-cognitive impairment effects via PI3K-AKT signaling, providing hope for the development of new strategies for an adjuvant therapy for Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is a promising material in regenerative traumatology for the creation of bone implants. Previously, it was established that doping the structure with certain cations can reduce the growth of bacterial activity. Recently, much attention has been paid to co-doped β-TCP, that is explained by their ability, on the one hand, to reduce cytotoxicity for cells of the human organism, on the other hand, to achieve a successful antibacterial effect. Sr, Cu-co-doped solid solutions of the composition Ca9.5-xSrxCu(PO4)7 was obtained by the method of solid-phase reactions. The Rietveld method of structural refinement revealed the presence of Sr2+ ions in four crystal sites: M1, M2, M3, and M4. The M5 site is completely occupied by Cu2+. Isomorphic substitution of Ca2+ → (Sr2+and Cu2+) expands the concentration limits of the existence of the solid solution with the β-TCP structure. No additional phases were formed up to x = 4.5 in Ca9.5-xSrxCu(PO4)7. Biocompatibility tests were performed on cell lines of human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC), human fibroblasts (MRC-5) and osteoblasts (U-2OS). It was demonstrated that cytotoxicity exhibited a concentration dependence, along with an increase in osteogenesis and cell proliferation. Ca9.5-xSrxCu(PO4)7 powders showed significant inhibitory activity against pathogenic strains Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Piezoelectric properties of Ca9.5-xSrxCu(PO4)7 were investigated. Possible ways to achieve high piezoelectric response are discussed. The combination of bioactive properties of Ca9.5-xSrxCu(PO4)7 renders them multifunctional materials suitable for bone substitutes.

Abstract
Tuning the charge transfer processes through a built-in electric field is an effective way to accelerate the dynamics of electro- and photocatalytic reactions. However, the coupling of the built-in electric field of p-n heterojunctions and the microstrain-induced polarization on the impact of piezocatalysis has not been fully explored. Herein, we demonstrate the role of the built-in electric field of p-type BiOI/n-type BiVO4 heterojunctions in enhancing their piezocatalytic behaviors. The highly crystalline p-n heterojunction is synthesized by using a coprecipitation method under ambient aqueous conditions. Under ultrasonic irradiation in water exposed to air, the p-n heterojunctions exhibit significantly higher production rates of reactive species (·OH, ·O2-, and 1O2) as compared to isolated BiVO4 and BiOI. Also, the piezocatalytic rate of H2O2 production with the BiOI/BiVO4 heterojunction reaches 480 μmol g-1 h-1, which is 1.6- and 12-fold higher than those of BiVO4 and BiOI, respectively. Furthermore, the p-n heterojunction maintains a highly stable H2O2 production rate under ultrasonic irradiation for up to 5 h. The results from the experiments and equation-driven simulations of the strain and piezoelectric potential distributions indicate that the piezocatalytic reactivity of the p-n heterojunction resulted from the polarization intensity induced by periodic ultrasound, which is enhanced by the built-in electric field of the p-n heterojunctions. This study provides new insights into the design of piezocatalysts and opens up new prospects for applications in medicine, environmental remediation, and sonochemical sensors.

Abstract
Nanozyme mediated catalytic therapy is an attractive strategy for cancer therapy. However, the nanozymes are tended to assemble into 3D architectures, resulting in poor catalytic efficiency for therapy. This study designs the assembly of nanozymes and natural enzymes into the layered structures featuring hexagonal pores as nanozyme clusterphene and investigates their catalytic therapy with the assistance of electric field. The nanozyme-based clusterphene consists of polyoxometalate (POM) and natural glucose oxidase (GOx), named POMG-based clusterphene, which facilitate multi-enzyme activities including peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione oxidase (GPx). The highly ordered layers with hexagonal pores of POMG units significantly improve the peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity of the nanozyme and thus the sustained production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). At the same time, GOx can increase endogenous H2O2 and produce gluconic acid while consuming glucose, the nutrient of tumor cell growth. The results indicate that the POD-like activity of POMG-based clusterphene increase approximately sevenfold under electrical stimulation compared with Nd-substituted keggin type POM cluster (NdPW11). The experiments both in vitro and in vivo show that the proposed POMG-based clusterphene mediated cascade catalytic therapy is capable of efficient tumor inhibiting and preventing tumor proliferation in tumor-bearing mice model, promising as an excellent candidate for catalytic therapy.

Abstract
Although immunogenic cell death (ICD) inducers evidently enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy, their potential is increasingly restricted by the development of apoptosis resistance in tumor cells, poor immunogenicity, and low T-cell immune responsiveness. In this study, for the first time, piezoelectrically catalyzed Mg2+-doped hydroxyapatite (Mg-HAP) nanoparticles, which are coated with a mesoporous silica layer and loaded with ONC201 as an agonist to specifically target the death receptor DR5 on tumor cells, ultimately developing an Mg-HAP@MS/ONC201 nanoparticle (MHMO NP) system, are engineered. Owing to its excellent piezoelectric properties, MHMO facilitates the release of a significant amount of reactive oxygen species and Ca2+ within tumor cells, effectively promoting the upregulation of DR5 expression and inducing tumor cell necroptosis to ultimately overcome apoptosis resistance. Concurrently, Mg2+ released in the tumor microenvironment promotes CD8+ T receptor activation in response to the antitumor immune reaction induced by ICD. Using RNA-seq analysis, it is elucidated that MHMO can activate the NF-κB pathway under piezoelectric catalysis, thus inducing M1-type macrophage polarization. In summary, a dual-targeting therapy system that targets both tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment under piezoelectric catalysis is designed. This system holds substantial potential for advancements in tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Cancer treatment requires precise tumor-specific targeting at specific sites that allows for high-resolution diagnostic imaging and long-term patient-tailorable cancer therapy; while, minimizing side effects largely arising from non-targetability. This can be realized by harnessing exogenous remote stimuli, such as tissue-penetrative ultrasound, magnetic field, light, and radiation, that enable local activation for cancer imaging and therapy in deep tumors. A myriad of nanomedicines can be efficiently activated when the energy of such remote stimuli can be transformed into another type of energy. This review discusses the remote control of energy transformation for targetable, efficient, and long-term cancer imaging and therapy. Such ultrasonic, magnetic, photonic, radiative, and radioactive energy can be transformed into mechanical, thermal, chemical, and radiative energy to enable a variety of cancer imaging and treatment modalities. The current review article describes multimodal energy transformation where a serial cascade or multiple types of energy transformation occur. This review includes not only mechanical, chemical, hyperthermia, and radiation therapy but also emerging thermoelectric, pyroelectric, and piezoelectric therapies for cancer treatment. It also illustrates ultrasound, magnetic resonance, fluorescence, computed tomography, photoluminescence, and photoacoustic imaging-guided cancer therapies. It highlights afterglow imaging that can eliminate autofluorescence for sustained signal emission after the excitation.

Immunotherapy harnesses the inherent immune system in the body to generate systemic antitumor immunity, offering a promising modality for defending against cancer. However, tumor immunosuppression and evasion seriously restrict the immune response rates in clinical settings. Catalytic nanomedicines can transform tumoral substances/metabolites into therapeutic products in situ, offering unique advantages in antitumor immunotherapy. Through catalytic reactions, both tumor eradication and immune regulation can be simultaneously achieved, favoring the development of systemic antitumor immunity. In recent years, with advancements in catalytic chemistry and nanotechnology, catalytic nanomedicines based on nanozymes, photocatalysts, sonocatalysts, Fenton catalysts, electrocatalysts, piezocatalysts, thermocatalysts and radiocatalysts have been rapidly developed with vast applications in cancer immunotherapy. This review provides an introduction to the fabrication of catalytic nanomedicines with an emphasis on their structures and engineering strategies. Furthermore, the catalytic substrates and state-of-the-art applications of nanocatalysts in cancer immunotherapy have also been outlined and discussed. The relationships between nanostructures and immune regulating performance of catalytic nanomedicines are highlighted to provide a deep understanding of their working mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment. Finally, the challenges and development trends are revealed, aiming to provide new insights for the future development of nanocatalysts in catalytic immunotherapy.

Abstract
Sono-photodynamic therapy is hindered by the limited tissue penetration depth of the external light source and the quick recombination of electron-hole owing to the random movement of charge carriers. In this study, orthorhombic ZnSnO3 quantum dots (QDs) with piezo-photoelectronic effects are successfully encapsulated in hexagonal upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) using a one-pot thermal decomposition method to form an all-in-one watermelon-like structured sono-photosensitizer (ZnSnO3 @UCNPs). The excited near-infrared light has high penetration depth, and the watermelon-like structure allows for full contact between the UCNPs and ZnSnO3 QDs, achieving ultrahigh Förster resonance energy transfer efficiency of up to 80.30%. Upon ultrasonic and near-infrared laser co-activation, the high temperature and pressure generated lead to the deformation of the UCNPs, thereby driving the deformation of all ZnSnO3 QDs inside the UCNPs, forming many small internal electric fields similar to isotropic electric domains. This piezoelectric effect not only increases the internal electric field intensity of the entire material but also prevents random movement and rapid recombination of charge carriers, thereby achieving satisfactory piezocatalytic performance. By combining the photodynamic effect arising from the energy transfer from UCNPs to ZnSnO3 , synergistic efficacy is realized. This study proposes a novel strategy for designing highly efficient sono-photosensitizers through structural design.

Abstract
Piezocatalytic tumor therapy is an emerging reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating therapeutic approach that relies on piezoelectric polarization under ultrasound (US) irradiation. Optimizing ROS production is a primary objective for enhancing treatment efficiency. In this study, oxygen-vacancy-rich Pd-integrated black barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles are rationally engineered to boost the ROS generation efficiency via the introduction of Pd. Pd-catalyzed hydrogenation at low temperatures narrows the bandgap of BTO and reduces the recombination rate of electron-hole pairs. Furthermore, Pd has dual-enzyme-mimicking characteristics, including peroxidase- and catalase-mimicking activities, which further heighten the therapeutic efficacy by enhancing ROS production and reversing the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Importantly, the dual enzymatic activity of Pd can be amplified by multiple redox processes sparked by the piezoelectric potential under US stimulation, resulting in bilaterally enhanced multienzyme-piezoelectric synergetic therapy. In vitro and in vivo results confirm high tumor inhibition in murine breast cancer cells. This work stresses the critical effects of defect engineering-optimized piezodynamic tumor therapy.

Abstract
Hydrogels show great potential in biomedical applications due to their inherent biocompatibility, high water content, and resemblance to the extracellular matrix. However, they lack self-powering capabilities and often necessitate external stimulation to initiate cell regenerative processes. In contrast, piezoelectric materials offer self-powering potential but tend to compromise flexibility. To address this, creating a novel hybrid biomaterial of piezoelectric hydrogels (PHs), which combines the advantageous properties of both materials, offers a systematic solution to the challenges faced by these materials when employed separately. Such innovative material system is expected to broaden the horizons of biomedical applications, such as piezocatalytic medicinal and health monitoring applications, showcasing its adaptability by endowing hydrogels with piezoelectric properties. Unique functionalities, like enabling self-powered capabilities and inducing electrical stimulation that mimics endogenous bioelectricity, can be achieved while retaining hydrogel matrix advantages. Given the limited reported literature on PHs, here recent strategies concerning material design and fabrication, essential properties, and distinctive applications are systematically discussed. The review is concluded by providing perspectives on the remaining challenges and the future outlook for PHs in the biomedical field. As PHs emerge as a rising star, a comprehensive exploration of their potential offers insights into the new hybrid biomaterials.

Abstract
Biomolecular piezoelectric materials are envisioned for advanced biomedical applications for their robust piezoelectricity, biocompatibility, and flexibility. Here, we report the piezoelectric property of amyloid fibrils derived from three distinct proteins: lysozyme, insulin, and amyloid-β. We found that piezoelectric properties are dependent on the extent of the β-sheet structure and the extent of fibril anisotropy. We have observed the piezoelectric constant value in the range of 24-42 pm/V for fibrils made of lysozyme/insulin/amyloid-β, and for the sheet/bundle-like structure of lysozyme aggregates, the value becomes 62 pm/V. These piezoelectric constant values are 4-10 times higher than the native lysozyme/insulin/amyloid proteins. Computational studies show that extension of the β-sheet structure produces an asymmetric arrangement of charges (in creating dipole moment) and mechanical stress induces an aligned orientation of these dipoles that results in a piezoelectric effect. It is shown that these piezoelectric fibrils can harvest mechanical as well as ultrasound-based energy to produce a voltage of up to 1 V and a current of up to 13 nA. These fibrils are employed for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation under ultrasound exposure and utilized for ultrasonic degradation of organic pollutants or killing of cancer cells via intracellular ROS generation under ultrasound exposure. Our findings demonstrate that the piezoelectric property of protein fibrils has potential for wireless therapeutic applications and may have physiological roles that are yet to be explored.

Abstract
Fluorescence-based bioimaging is an imperative approach with high clinical relevance in healthcare applications and biomedical research. The field of bioimaging plays an indispensable role in gaining insight into the internal architecture of cells/tissues and comprehending the physiological functions associated with biological systems. With the utility of piezoelectric nanomaterials, the bioelectric interface has been significantly investigated, leading to remarkable clinical relevance. Herein, we have developed barium titanate nanoparticle (BT) coated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) in the presence and absence of an electromagnetic field (EMF). In this work, the effect of low (0.6 G) and high (2.0 G) EMFs on the structural arrangement of these piezoelectric nanocomposites (ABT) has been extensively studied with the help of X-ray diffraction (XRD), high diffraction resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Furthermore, the two derivatives of ABT i.e. 0.6 ABT and 2.0 ABT have been evaluated for electrochemical behavior for their applicability as a candidate for exploring the bioelectric interface. Additionally, ABT, 0.6 ABT, and 2.0 ABT have been explored for cytocompatibility and bioimaging applications. The proposed piezoelectric nanocomposite, as a multifunctional platform, has enormous proficiency in the field of bioimaging and the capability to be utilized across the bioelectric interface.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging tumor microenvironment-responsive cancer therapeutic strategy based on Fenton/Fenton-like reactions. However, the effectiveness of CDT is subject to the slow kinetic rate and non-homogeneous distribution of H2 O2 . In this study, a conceptual non-metallic "Fenton-active" center construction strategy is proposed to enhance CDT efficiency using Bi0.44 Ba0.06 Na0.5 TiO2.97 (BNBT-6) nanocrystals. The separated charge carriers under a piezoelectric-induced electric field synchronize the oxidation of H2 O and reduction of H2 O2 , which consequently increases hydroxyl radical (·OH) yield even under low H2 O2 levels. Moreover, acceptor doping induces electron-rich oxygen vacancies to facilitate the dissociation of H2 O2 and H2 O and further promote ·OH generation. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that BNBT-6 induces extensive intracellular oxidative stress and enhances cell-killing efficiency by activating necroptosis in addition to the conventional apoptotic pathway. This study proposes a novel design approach for nanomaterials used in CDT and presents a new treatment strategy for apoptosis-resistant tumors.

Ferroelectric materials have even found use in neural implants that record and stimulate electrical activity in the brain. This paper reviews the relationship between ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and pyroelectric effects and the fundamental principles of different catalytic reactions. It also highlights the preparation methods of these three materials and the significant progress made in their biomedical applications. The review concludes by presenting key challenges and future prospects for efficient catalysts based on piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric nanomaterials for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Treating cancer remains one of the most formidable challenges in modern medicine, with traditional treatment options often being limited by poor therapeutic outcomes and unacceptable side effects. Nanocatalytic therapy activates tumor-localized catalytic reactions in situ via nontoxic or minimally toxic nanocatalysts responding to unique cues from the tumor microenvironment or external stimuli. In particular, sonocatalytic cancer therapy is a promising approach that has emerged as a potential solution to this problem through the combination of ultrasound waves and catalytic materials to selectively target and destroy cancer cells. Compared to light, ultrasound exhibits higher spatial precision, lower energy attenuation, and superior tissue penetrability, furnishing more energy to catalysts. Multidimensional modulation of nanocatalyst structures and properties is pivotal to maximizing catalytic efficiency given constraints in external stimulative energy as well as substrate types and levels. In this review, we discuss the various theories and mechanisms underlying sonocatalytic cancer therapy, as well as advanced catalysts that have been developed for this application. Additionally, we explore the design of sonocatalytic cancer therapy systems, including the use of heterojunction catalysts and the optimal conditions for achieving maximum therapeutic effects. Finally, we highlight the potential benefits of sonocatalytic cancer therapy over traditional cancer treatments, including its noninvasive nature and lower toxicity.

Abstract
The clinical application of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated tumor treatment has been critically limited by inefficient ROS generation. Herein, we rationally synthesized and constructed the three-dimensional PdMo nanoflowers through a one-pot solvothermal reduction method for elaborately regulated peroxidase-like enzymatic activity and glutathione peroxidase-like enzymatic activity, to promote oxidation ROS evolvement and antioxidation glutathione depletion for achieving intensive ROS-mediated tumor therapy. The three-dimensional superstructure composed of two-dimensional nanosheet subunits can solve the issues by avoiding the appearance of tightly stacked crystalline nanostructures. Significantly, Mo is chosen as a second metal to alloy with Pd because of its more chemical valence and negative ionization energy than Pd for improved electron transfer efficiencies and enhanced enzyme-like activities. In addition, the photothermal effect generated by PdMo nanoflowers could also enhance its enzymatic activities. Thus, this work provides a promising paradigm for achieving highly ROS-mediated tumor therapeutic efficacy by regulating the multi-enzymatic activities of Pd-based nanoalloys.

Abstract
Currently, the use of piezoelectric materials to provide sustainable and noninvasive bioelectric stimulation to eradicate tumor cells and accelerate wound healing has raised wide attention. The development of a multifunctional piezoelectric elastomer with the ability to perform in situ tumor therapy as well as wound repair is of paramount importance. However, current piezoelectric materials have a large elastic modulus and limited stretchability, making it difficult to match with the dynamic curvature changes of the wound. Therefore, by copolymerizing lactic acid, butanediol, sebacic acid, and itaconic acid to develop a piezoelectric elastomer (PLBSIE), we construct a new ultrasound-activated PLBSIE-based tumor/wound unified therapeutic platform. Excitedly, it showed outstanding piezoelectric performance and high stretchability, and the separated carrier could react with water to generate highly cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), contributing to effectively killing tumor cells and eliminating bacteria through piezoelectric therapy. In addition, ultrasound-triggered piezoelectric effects could promote the migration and differentiation of wound-healing-related cells, thus accelerating wound healing. Herein, such a piezoelectric elastomer exerted a critical role in postoperative tumor-induced wound therapy and healing with the merits of possessing multifunctional abilities. Taken together, the developed ultrasound-activated PLBSIE will offer a comprehensive treatment for postoperative osteosarcoma therapy.

Abstract
Nanozyme activity relies on surface electron transfer processes. Notably, the piezoelectric effect plays a vital role in influencing nanozyme activity by generating positive and negative charges on piezoelectric materials' surfaces. This article comprehensively reviews the potential mechanisms and practical applications of regulating nanozyme activity through the piezoelectric effect. The article first elucidates how the piezoelectric effect enables nanozymes to exhibit catalytic activity. It is highlighted that the positive and negative charges produced by this effect directly participate in redox reactions, leading to the conversion of materials from an inactive to an active state. Moreover, the piezoelectric field generated can enhance nanozyme activity by accelerating electron transfer rates or reducing binding energy between nanozymes and substrates. Practical applications of piezoelectric nanozymes are explored in the subsequent section, including water pollutant degradation, bacterial disinfection, biological detection, and tumor therapy, which demonstrate the versatile potentials of the piezoelectric effect in nanozyme applications. The review concludes by emphasizing the need for further research into the catalytic mechanisms of piezoelectric nanozymes, suggesting expanding the scope of catalytic types and exploring new application areas. Furthermore, the promising direction of synergistic catalytic therapy is discussed as an inspiring avenue for future research.

Abstract
External light sources, such as lasers, light emitting diodes (LEDs) and lamps, are widely applied in photodynamic therapy (PDT); however, their use is severely limited by the nature of shallow tissue penetration depth. The recent exploration of light delivery or local generation on tumor sites has attracted much attention, owing to the fact that these systems are significantly endowed with high tissue penetration. In this review, we briefly introduced the principle of "on-spot light generation or delivery systems" in PDT. These systems are divided into different categories: (1) implantable luminescence, (2) mechanoluminescence, (3) electrochemiluminescence, (4) Cerenkov luminescence, (5) chemiluminescence, and (6) bioluminescence. Finally, their applications, advantages, and disadvantages in PDT will be appropriately summarized and further discussed in detail. We believe that this review will provide general guidance for the further design of light generation or delivery systems and clinical studies for PDT-mediated cancer treatments with unparalleled merits.

Abstract
Traditional treatment methods for tumors are inefficient and have severe side effects. At present, new therapeutic methods such as phototherapy, chemodynamic therapy, and gasodynamic therapy have been innovatively developed. High concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas exhibit cancer-suppressive effects. Herein, a Prussian blue-loaded tetra-sulfide modified dendritic mesoporous organosilica (PB@DMOS) was rationally constructed with glutathione (GSH)-triggered/photothermal-enhanced H2S signaling molecule release properties for gas therapy. The as-synthesized nanoplatform confined PB nanoparticles in the mesoporous structure of organosilica silica due to electrostatic adsorption. In the case of a GSH overexpressed tumor microenvironment, H2S gas was controllably released. And the temperature increases due to the photothermal effects of PB nanoparticles, further enhancing H2S release. At the same time, PB nanoparticles with excellent hydrogen peroxide catalytic performance also amplified the efficiency of tumor therapy. Thus, a collective nanoplatform with gas therapy/photothermal therapy/catalytic therapy functionalities shows potential promise in terms of efficient tumor therapy.

Abstract
This perspective article emphasizes the significant role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in in vivo remedial therapy of various diseases and complications, capitalizing on their potential reactivity. Among the various influencers, herein, piezoelectric materials driven ROS generation activity is primarily considered. Intrinsic non-centrosymmetry of piezoelectric materials makes them suitable for distinct dipole formation in the presence of external mechanical stimuli. Such characteristics prompt the positioning of opposite charged carriers to execute associated redox transformations that effectively participate to generate ROS in the aqueous media of the cell cytoplasm, organelles and nucleus. The immense reactivity of piezoelectric material driven ROS is fostered to terminate cellular toxicity or curtail tumor cell growth, due to their higher specificity. This perspective considers the conjugated performance of piezoelectric materials and ultrasound which can remotely generate electrical charges that promote ROS production for therapeutic application. In particular, a substantial synopsis is provided for the remedial activity of numerous piezocatalytic materials in tumor cell apoptosis, antibacterial treatment, dental care and neurological disorders. Subsequently, the report precisely demonstrates the methods involving various spectrophotometric approaches for the analysis of the ROS. Finally, the key challenges of piezoelectric material-based therapy are discussed and systematic future progress is outlined.

Abstract
Piezocatalytic therapy, which generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) under mechanical force, has garnered extensive attention for its use in cancer therapy owing to its deep tissue penetration depth and less O2 -dependence. However, the piezocatalytic therapeutic efficiency is limited owing to the poor piezoresponse, low separation of electron-hole pairs, and complicated tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, a biodegradable, porous Mn-doped ZnO (Mn-ZnO) nanocluster with enhanced piezoelectric effect is constructed via doping engineering. Mn-doping not only induces lattice distortion to increase polarization but also creates rich oxygen vacancies (OV ) for suppressing the recombination of electron-hole pairs, leading to high-efficiency generation of ROS under ultrasound irradiation. Moreover, Mn-doped ZnO shows TME-responsive multienzyme-mimicking activity and glutathione (GSH) depletion ability owing to the mixed valence of Mn (II/III), further aggravating oxidative stress. Density functional theory calculations show that Mn-doping can improve the piezocatalytic performance and enzyme activity of Mn-ZnO due to the presence of OV . Benefiting from the boosting of ROS generation and GSH depletion ability, Mn-ZnO can significantly accelerate the accumulation of lipid peroxide and inactivate glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) to induce ferroptosis. The work may provide new guidance for exploring novel piezoelectric sonosensitizers for tumor therapy.

Abstract
The development of next-generation bioelectronics, as well as the powering of consumer and medical devices, require power sources that are soft, flexible, extensible, and even biocompatible. Traditional energy storage devices (typically, batteries and supercapacitors) are rigid, unrecyclable, offer short-lifetime, contain hazardous chemicals and possess poor biocompatibility, hindering their utilization in wearable electronics. Therefore, there is a genuine unmet need for a new generation of innovative energy-harvesting materials that are soft, flexible, bio-compatible, and bio-degradable. Piezoelectric gels or PiezoGels are a smart crystalline form of gels with polar ordered structures that belongs to the broader family of piezoelectric material, which generate electricity in response to mechanical stress or deformation. Given that PiezoGels are structurally similar to hydrogels, they offer several advantages including intrinsic chirality, crystallinity, degree of ordered structures, mechanical flexibility, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, emphasizing their potential applications ranging from power generation to bio-medical applications. Herein, we describe recent examples of new functional PiezoGel materials employed for energy harvesting, sensing, and wound dressing applications. First, this review focuses on the principles of piezoelectric generators (PEGs) and the advantages of using hydrogels as PiezoGels in energy and biomedical applications. Next, we provide a detailed discussion on the preparation, functionalization, and fabrication of PiezoGel-PEGs (P-PEGs) for the applications of energy harvesting, sensing and wound healing/dressing. Finally, this review concludes with a discussion of the current challenges and future directions of P-PEGs.

Abstract
Treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) needs to reduce inflammation, relieve hypoxia, lower blood glucose, promote angiogenesis, and eliminate pathogenic bacteria, but the therapeutic efficacy is greatly limited by the diversity and synergy of drug functions as well as the DFU microenvironment itself. Herein, an ultrasound-augmented multienzyme-like nanozyme hydrogel spray was developed using hyaluronic acid encapsulated l-arginine and ultrasmall gold nanoparticles and Cu1.6O nanoparticles coloaded phosphorus doped graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (ACPCAH). This nanozyme hydrogel spray possesses five types of enzyme-like activities, including superoxide dismutase (SOD)-, catalase (CAT)-, glucose oxidase (GOx)-, peroxidase (POD)-, and nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-like activities. The kinetics and reaction mechanism of the sonodynamic/sonothermal synergistic enhancement of the SOD-CAT-GOx-POD/NOS cascade reaction of ACPCAH are fully investigated. Both in vitro and in vivo tests demonstrate that this nanozyme hydrogel spray can be activated by the DFU microenvironment to reduce inflammation, relieve hypoxia, lower blood glucose, promote angiogenesis, and eliminate pathogenic bacteria, thus accelerating diabetic wound healing effectively. This study highlights a competitive approach based on multienzyme-like nanozymes for the development of all-in-one DFU therapies.

Abstract
Endogenous electric field is ubiquitous in a multitude of important living activities such as bone repair, cell signal transduction, and nerve regeneration, signifying that regulating the electric field in organisms is highly beneficial to maintain organism health. As an emerging and promising research direction, piezoelectric nanomedicine and materdicine precisely activated by ultrasound with synergetic advantages of deep tissue penetration, remote spatiotemporal selectivity, and mechanical-electrical energy interconversion, have been progressively utilized for disease treatment and tissue repair by participating in the modulation of endogenous electric field. This specific nanomedicine utilizing piezoelectric effect activated by ultrasound is typically regarded as "sonopiezoelectric nanomedicine". This comprehensive review summarizes and discusses the substantially employed sonopiezoelectric nanomaterials and nanotherapies to provide an insight into the internal mechanism of the corresponding biological behavior/effect of sonopiezoelectric biomaterials in versatile disease treatments. This review primarily focuses on the sonopiezoelectric biomaterials for biosensing, drug delivery, tumor therapy, tissue regeneration, antimicrobia, and further illuminates the underlying sonopiezoelectric mechanism. In addition, the challenges and developments/prospects of sonopiezoelectric nanomedicine are analyzed for promoting the further clinical translation. It is earnestly expected that this kind of nanomedicine/biomaterials-enabled sonopiezoelectric technology will provoke the comprehensive investigation and promote the clinical development of the next-generation multifunctional materdicine.
