Abstract
The field of photocatalysis has demonstrated numerous advantages in the domains of environmental protection, energy, and materials science. However, conventional modification methods fail to simultaneously enhance carrier separation efficiency, redox capacity, and visible light absorption solely through light activation due to the intrinsic band structure limitations of photocatalysts. In addition to modification methods, the introduction of an external field, such as a piezoelectric field, can effectively address deficiencies in each step of the photocatalytic process and enhance the overall performance. The assistance of a piezoelectric field overcomes the limitations inherent in traditional photocatalytic systems. Hence, this review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in piezoelectric-assisted photocatalysis and thoroughly investigates the interaction between the alternating piezoelectric field and photocatalytic processes. Various ideas for synergistic enhancement of the piezoelectric and photocatalytic properties are also explored. This multifield catalytic system shows remarkable performance in stability, pollutant degradation, and energy conversion, distinguishing it from single catalytic systems. Finally, an in-depth analysis is conducted to address the challenges and prospects associated with piezoelectric photocatalysis technology.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:134198.

Abstract
A novel Ag3PO4/ZnWO4-modified graphite felt electrode (AZW@GF) was prepared by drop coating method and applied to photoelectrocatalytic removal of harmful algae. Results showed that approximately 99.21% of chlorophyll a and 91.57% of Microcystin-LR (MCLR) were degraded by the AZW@GF-Pt photoelectrocatalytic system under the optimal operating conditions with a rate constant of 0.02617 min-1 and 0.01416 min-1, respectively. The calculated synergistic coefficient of photoelectrocatalytic algal removal and MC-LR degradation by the AZW@GF-Pt system was both larger than 1.9. In addition, the experiments of quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) revealed that the photoelectrocatalytic reaction mainly generated •OH and •O2- for algal removal and MC-LR degradation. Furthermore, the potential pathway for photoelectrocatalytic degradation of MC-LR was proposed. Finally, the photoelectrocatalytic cycle algae removal experiments were carried out on AZW@GF electrode, which was found to maintain the algae removal efficiency at about 91% after three cycles of use, indicating that the photoelectrocatalysis of AZW@GF electrode is an effective emergency algae removal technology.

Enhanced piezo-photocatalytic performance in ZnIn 2S 4/BiFeO 3 heterojunction stimulated by solar and mechanical energy for efficient hydrogen evolution. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 662:276-288. [PMID: 38354555 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.02.058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
An emerging approach that employs both light and vibration energy on binary photo-/piezoelectric semiconductor materials for efficient hydrogen (H2) evolution has garnered considerable attention. ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) is recognized as a promising visible-light-activated photocatalyst. However, its effectiveness is constraint by the slow separation dynamics of photoexcited carriers. Density functional theory (DFT) predictions have shown that the integration of piezoelectric BiFeO3 (BFO) is conducive to the reduction of the H2 adsorption free energy (ΔGH*) for the photocatalytic H2 evolution reaction, thereby enhancing the reaction kinetics. Informed by theoretical predictions, piezoelectric BFO polyhedron particles were successfully synthesized and incorporated with ZIS nanoflowers to create a ZIS/BFO heterojunction using an ultrasonic-assisted calcination method. When subjected to simultaneous ultrasonic treatment and visible-light irradiation, the optimal ZIS/BFO piezoelectric enhanced (piezo-enhanced) heterojunction exhibited a piezoelectric photocatalytic (piezo-photocatalytic) H2 evolution rate approximately 6.6 times higher than that of pristine ZIS and about 3.0 times greater than the rate achieved under light-only conditions. Moreover, based on theoretical predictions and experimental results, a plausible mechanism and charge transfer route for the enhancement of piezo-photocatalytic performance were studied by the subsequent piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) measurements and DFT calculations. The findings of this study strongly confirm that both the internal electric field of the step-scheme (S-Scheme) heterojunction and the alternating piezoelectric field generated by the vibration of BFO can enhance the transportation and separation of electron-hole pairs. This study presents a concept for the multipath utilization of light and vibrational energy to harness renewable energy from the environment.

Abstract
It is a challenging task to design a piezoelectric photocatalyst with excellent performance under mechanical agitation instead of ultrasonic irradiation. Integrating vacancy defects into a heterojunction seems to be an effective strategy for synergistically increasing its piezo-photocatalytic performance. For this goal, a two-step hydrothermal method was adopted to architect a type-I oxygen-vacancy-rich BaTiO3/BiOBr heterojunction to surge the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under the combined action of simulated sunlight irradiation and mechanical agitation. Various instrumental techniques demonstrated the formation of a BaTiO3/BiOBr heterojunction with high crystallinity. The existence of surface oxygen vacancies was confirmed by XPS and EPR tests. PFM results manifested that this heterojunction had excellent piezoelectric properties, with a piezoelectric response value of 30.31 pm V-1. Comparative experiments indicated that RhB degradation efficiency under piezo-photocatalysis over this heterojunction largely exceeded the total sum of those under piezocatalysis and photocatalysis. h+, ·O2-, and 1O2 were the dominant reactive species for RhB degradation. The improved separation efficiency of photogenerated charges was verified by electrochemical measurements. DFT calculations indicated that the polarization of BaTiO3 could affect the electronic band structure of BiOBr. This work will provide comprehensive insights into piezo-photocatalytic mechanism at a microcosmic level and help to develop new-styled piezoelectric photocatalysts.

Remarkably enhanced catalytic performance in CoO x/Bi 4Ti 3O 12 heterostructures for methyl orange degradation via piezocatalysis and piezo-photocatalysis. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 100:106616. [PMID: 37769589 PMCID: PMC10550776 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
A novel heterojunction composite of CoOx/Bi4Ti3O12 was synthesized through a combination of molten salt and photodeposition methods. The optimal sample exhibited superior performance in the piezocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) dye with a degradation rate of 1.09 h-1, which was 2.4 times higher than that of pristine Bi4Ti3O12. Various characterizations were conducted to reveal the fundamental nature accountable for the outstanding piezocatalytic performance of CoOx/Bi4Ti3O12. The investigation of the band structure indicated that the CoOx/Bi4Ti3O12 composite formed a type-I p-n heterojunction structure, with CoOx acting as a hole trapper to effectively separate and transfer piezogenerated carriers. Significantly, the MO degradation rate of the best CoOx/Bi4Ti3O12 sample further increased to 2.96 h-1 under combined ultrasonic vibration and simulated sunlight. The synergy between piezocatalysis and photocatalysis can be ascribed to the following factors. The photoexcitation process ensures the sufficient generation of charge carriers in the CoOx/Bi4Ti3O12, while the piezoelectric field within Bi4Ti3O12 promotes the separation of electron-hole pairs in the bulk phase. Furthermore, the heterojunction structure between Bi4Ti3O12 and CoOx significantly facilitates the surface separation of charge carriers. This increased involvement of free electrons and holes in the reaction leads to a remarkable enhancement in catalytic MO degradation. This work contributes to the understanding of the coupling mechanism between the piezoelectric effect and photocatalysis, and also provides a promising strategy for the development of efficient catalysts for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Cobalt oxide (CoOx) is a common catalyst for plasma catalytic elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, the catalytic mechanism of CoOx under radiation of plasma is still unclear, such as how the relative importance of the intrinsic structure of the catalyst (e.g., Co3+ and oxygen vacancy) and the specific energy input (SEI) of the plasma for toluene decomposition performance. CoOx - γ-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared and evaluated by toluene decomposition performance. Changing the calcination temperature of the catalyst altered the content of Co3+ and oxygen vacancies in CoOx, resulting in different catalytic performance. The results of the artificial neural network (ANN) models presented that the relative importance of three reaction parameters (SEI, Co3+, and oxygen vacancy) on the mineralization rate and CO2 selectivity were as follows: SEI > oxygen vacancy > Co3+ , and SEI > Co3+ > oxygen vacancy, respectively. Oxygen vacancy is essential for mineralization rate, and CO2 selectivity is more dependent on Co3+ content. Furthermore, a possible reaction mechanism of toluene decomposition was proposed according to the analysis results of in-situ DRIFTS and PTR-TOF-MS. This work provides new ideas for the rational design of CoOx catalysts in plasma catalytic systems.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is one of the most promising green technologies to utilize solar energy for clean energy achievement and environmental governance, such as artificial photosynthesis, water splitting, pollutants degradation, etc. Despite decades of research, the performance of photocatalysis still falls far short of the requirement of 5% solar energy conversion efficiency. Combining photocatalysis with the other physical fields has been proven to be an efficient way around this barrier which can improve the performance of photocatalysis remarkably. This review will focus on the recent advances in photocatalysis coupling by external physical fields, including Thermal-coupled photocatalysis (TCP), Mechanical-coupled photocatalysis (MCP), and Electromagnetism-coupled photocatalysis (ECP). In this paper, coupling mechanisms, materials, and applications of external physical fields are reviewed. Specifically, the promotive effect on photocatalytic activity by the external fields is highlighted. This review will provide a detailed and specific reference for photocatalysis coupling by external physical fields in a deep-going way.
