Abstract
The efficient degradation of organic pollutants in diverse environmental matrices can be achieved through the synergistic application of piezo-catalysis and photocatalysis. The focus of this study is on understanding the fundamental principles and mechanisms that govern the collaborative action of piezoelectric and photocatalytic materials. Piezoelectric nanomaterials, under mechanical stress, generate piezo-potential, which, when coupled with photocatalysts, enhances the generation and separation of charge carriers. The resulting cascade of redox reactions promotes the degradation of a wide spectrum of organic pollutants. The comprehensive investigation involves a variety of experimental techniques, including advanced spectroscopy and microscopy, to elucidate the intricate interplay between mechanical and photoinduced processes. The influence of key parameters, such as material composition, morphology, and external stimuli on the catalytic performance, is systematically explored. This study contributes to the increasing knowledge of environmental remediation and lays the foundation for the development of advanced technologies using piezo and photocatalysis for sustainable pollutant removal.

Mechanism and kinetic of piezo-catalytic desulfurization of model and actual fuel samples over Ce xO y/SrO nanocomposite at room temperature. Heliyon 2024; 10:e24707. [PMID: 38304796 PMCID: PMC10830554 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24707] [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: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
SOx emissions are primarily caused by compounds containing sulfur in petroleum and fuels, which lead to severe air pollution. For this reason, it is necessary to develop a fast and simple desulfurization method in order to comply with ever-increasing environmental regulations. The newly discovered piezo-catalyst nanocomposite CexOy/SrO can convert mechanical energy directly into chemical energy, thereby enabling mechanically oxidative sulfur desulfurization. 320 W of bath sonication were used to polarize and activate the prepared piezo-catalyst nanocomposite CexOy/SrO for sulfur removal from thiophene and dibenzothiophene as model fuels and kerosene as a real fuel. Using uniform and spherical CeO2/SrO nanocomposites resulted in the highest desulfurization rates of 95.4 %, 97.3 %, and 59.7 %, respectively, for thiophene and dibenzothiophene. This study examined the effect of several parameters, such as sulfur concentration, pH of fuel, dosage of CexOy/SrO nanocomposite, power and time of ultrasonic, and shaking time, on the piezo-desulfurization of thiophene (TP) and dibenzothiophene (DBTP). To identify the major active species in piezo desulfurization, radical trapping experiments were conducted. This study investigated the possibility of reusing the catalyst, and the piezo-desulfurization activity that was demonstrated in the removal of TP and DBTP after 11 cycles as well as the ability of the catalyst to remove real fuel even after 14 cycles was promising. As the kinetic results show, the reaction follows the second order with K = 0.0050. Also, thermodynamic results showed the oxidation of sulfide to sulfoxide and sulfoxide is endothermic. Activation energy for second order rate constant is (3.824 Kj/mole). 0.0236 mol-1. Sec-1 was calculated for Arrhenius Constant.

Composition-driven morphological evolution of BaTiO 3 nanowires for efficient piezocatalytic hydrogen production. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 338:139337. [PMID: 37442379 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogen production from water by piezocatalysis is very attractive owing to its high energy efficiency and novelty. BaTiO3, a highly piezoelectric material, is particularly suitable for this application due to its high piezoelectric potential, non-toxic nature, and physicochemical stability. Owing to the critical role of morphology on properties, one-dimensional (1D) materials are expected to exhibit superior water-splitting performance and thus there is a need to optimise the processing conditions to develop outstanding piezocatalysts. In the present work, piezoelectric BaTiO3 nanowires (NWs) were hydrothermally synthesised with precursor Ba:Ti molar ratios of 1:1, 2:1, and 4:1. The morphology, defect chemistry, and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) efficiency of the as-synthesised BaTiO3 NWs were systematically investigated. The results showed that the morphological features, aspect ratio, structural stability and defect contents of the 1D morphologies collectively have a significant impact on the HER efficiency. The morphological evolution mechanism of the 1D structures were described in terms of ion exchange and dissolution-growth processes of template-grown BaTiO3 NWs for different Ba:Ti molar ratios. Notably, the BaTiO3 NWs synthesised with Ba:Ti molar ratio of 2:1 displayed high crystallinity, good defect concentrations, and good structural integrity under ultrasonication, resulting in an outstanding HER efficiency of 149.24 μmol h-1g-1 which is the highest obtained for nanowire morphologies. These results highlight the importance of synthesis conditions for BaTiO3 NWs for generating excellent piezocatalytic water splitting performance. Additionally, post-ultrasonication tested BaTiO3 NWs demonstrated unexpected photocatalytic activity, with the BTO-1 sample (1:1 Ba:Ti) exhibiting 56% photodegradation of RhB in 2 h of UV irradiation.

Abstract
Piezocatalysis has increasingly gained prominence due to its enormous potential for addressing energy shortages and environmental pollution issues. Nonetheless, the low piezocatalytic activity of state-of-the-art materials seriously inhibits the practical applications of piezocatalysis. Here, it is proposed to greatly enhance the piezocatalytic activity for a perovskite ferroelectric, i.e., Sm-doped 0.68Pb(Mg1/3 Nb2/3 )-0.32PbTiO3 (Sm-PMN-PT, a solid solution with ultrahigh piezoelectricity), by introducing oxygen vacancies (OVs). The results show that the presence of OVs promotes the production of reactive oxygen species while enhancing the adsorption and activation of organic pollutants to improve piezocatalytic performance. The OV-Sm-PMN-PT is found to possess a superior piezocatalytic degradation rate constant of 0.073 min-1 under ultrasonic vibration, which is ≈4.9 times higher than that of pristine Sm-PMN-PT. Furthermore, the OV-Sm-PMN-PT can efficiently remove RhB under 400 rpm stirring, making it a promising candidate for water purification using low-frequency mechanical energy from nature. This research sheds light on the design of piezocatalytic materials via defect engineering.

Abstract
Ferroelectric materials are known to possess multicatalytic abilities that are nowadays utilized for removing organic pollutants from water via piezocatalysis, photocatalysis, piezo-photocatalysis, and pyrocatalysis processes. The Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 (BCZTO) ceramic is one such ferroelectric composition that has been extensively studied for electrical and electronic applications. Furthermore, the BCZTO ceramic has also shown remarkable multicatalytic performance in water-cleaning applications. The present review explores the potentiality of BCZTO for water-cleaning and bacterial-killing applications. It also highlights the fundamentals of ferroelectric ceramics, the importance of electric poling, and the principles underlying piezocatalysis, photocatalysis, and pyrocatalysis processes in addition to the multicatalytic capability of ferroelectric BCZTO ceramic.

Insight into the synergistic mechanism of sonolysis and sono-induced BiFeO 3 nanorods piezocatalysis in atenolol degradation: Ultrasonic parameters, ROS and degradation pathways.

Abstract
Herein, BiFeO3 nanorods (BFO NRs) was synthesized as the piezoelectric catalyst. The synergistic mechanism of sonolysis and sono-induced BFO-piezocatalysis in atenolol degradation was revealed and the effect of ultrasonic parameters on it was investigated for the first time. The results indicated that 100 kHz was the optimal frequency for the sonolytic and sono-piezocatalytic degradation of atenolol in ultrasound/BFO nanorods (US/BFO NRs) system, with the highest synergistic coefficient of 3.43. The piezoelectric potential differences of BFO NRs by COMSOL Multiphysics simulations further distinguishing that the impact of cavitation shock wave and ultrasonic vibration from sonochemistry reaction (i.e., 2.48, -2.48 and 6.60 V versus 0.008, -0.008 and 0.02 V under tensile, compressive and shear stress at 100 kHz). The latter piezoelectric potentials were insufficient for reactive-oxygen-species (ROS) generation, while the former contributed to 53.93% •OH yield in US/BFO NRs system. Sono-piezocatalysis was found more sensitive to ultrasonic power density than sonolysis. The quenching experiments and ESR tests indicated that the ROS contribution in atenolol degradation followed the order of •OH > 1O2 > h+ > O2•- in US/BFO NRs system and 1O2 generation is exclusively dissolved-oxygen dependent. Four degradation pathways for atenolol in US/BFO NRs system were proposed via products identification and DFT calculation. Toxicity assessment by ECOSAR suggested the toxicity of the degradation products could be controlled.

Abstract
In order to advance desulfurization technology, a new method for excellent oxidative desulfurization of fuel at room temperature will be of paramount importance. As a novel desulfurization method, we developed piezo-catalysts that do not require adding any oxidants and can be performed at room temperature. A microwave method was used to prepare CeO2/Ce2O3/NiOx nanocomposites. Model and real fuel desulfurization rates were examined as a function of synthesis parameters, such as microwave power and time, and operation conditions, such as pH and ultrasonic power. The results showed that CeO2/Ce2O3/NiOx nanocomposites demonstrated outstanding piezo-desulfurization at room temperature for both model and real fuels. Furthermore, CeO2/Ce2O3/NiOx nanocomposites exhibited remarkable reusability, maintaining 79% of their piezo-catalytic activity even after 17 repetitions for desulfurization of real fuel. An investigation of the mechanism of sulfur oxidation revealed that superoxide radicals and holes played a major role. Additionally, the kinetic study revealed that sulfur removal by piezo-catalyst follows a second-order reaction kinetic model.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to improve the efficiency of decontamination using BaSO4 as a piezocatalyst. Three techniques are employed in this study to enhance the piezocatalytic activity of BaSO4. The first method involves coupling BaSO4 with BaTiO3. The acid red 151 and acid blue 113 decontamination rates improved from 56.7% and 60.9% to 61.3% and 64.4%, respectively, as a result of this strategy. Additionally, the composite of BaSO4 and BaTiO3 was doped with copper, iron, sulfur, and nitrogen. By doping BaTiO3, acid red 151 and acid blue 113 achieved 86.7% and 89.2% efficiency, respectively. Finally, the nanostructures were modified with sucrose. These strategies improved degradation efficiency for acid red 151 and acid blue 113 to 92.9% and 93.3%, respectively. The reusability results showed that the piezo-catalytic activity of the m-S-BaSO4-BaTiO3 catalyst did not show a significant loss after five recycles for the degradation of AB113.

Abstract
Mechanical energy harvesting by piezoelectric materials to drive catalysis reactions received extensive attention for environmental remediation. In this work, SbSI/Sb2S3 nanocomposites were synthesized as a catalyst. ZrO2 balls were used as an alternative mechanical force to ultrasonic for stimulating the piezocatalyst for the first time. The kinetics and thermodynamics of the piezo degradation of methylene blue (MB) were studied deeply. Besides the effect of the type of mechanical force, the number of ZrO2 balls, and temperature of the reaction on the degradation efficiency were studied. Here mechanical energy came from the collision of the ZrO2 balls with the catalyst particles. Using ZrO2 balls instead of ultrasonic vibration led to enhance degradation efficiency by 47% at 30 ± 5 °C. A kinetic study revealed that piezo degradation of methylene blue (MB) by SbSI/Sb2S3 catalyst followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. Based on thermodynamic results piezo degradation of MB was an exothermic reaction.

Abstract
Combining piezoelectric effect and persulfate (PS) activation is a newly developed strategy for refractory emerging contaminants removal. In this work, borate SrBi2B2O7 (SBBO) is firstly developed as a piezoelectric material to piezo-assisted activation of PS for the removal of sulfadiazine (SDZ) under ultrasonic irradiation (US). SDZ could be efficiently degraded by 85.61 % in the system of PS/SBBO/US with a pseudo-first-order rate constant of 0.0520 min-1, which is faster than that in the systems of PS/SBBO (0.0210 min-1), SBBO/US (0.0041 min-1), PS/US (0.0074 min-1), and PS/BaTiO3/US (0.0120 min-1). The excellent degradation performance of the PS/SBBO/US system is mainly attributed to the piezoelectric effect of the SBBO which plays an important role in PS activation and accelerating reaction. Two oxidation processes, radical process (•O2- and •SO4-) and non-radical process (1O2 and electron transfer), exist during the SDZ degradation. The system of PS/SBBO/US also attains excellent removal efficiency in different SDZ contained water bodies. The possible degradation pathways mainly include cleavage of bonds, ring-opening, and hydroxylation process, and the toxicity of intermediates was predicted by T.E.S.T. software. This study provides new insight into piezoelectric catalysis associated with PS activation for SDZ removal.

Abstract
In the recent years, perovskite oxides are gaining an increasing amount of attention owing to their unique traits such as tunable electronic structures, flexible composition, and eco-friendly properties. In contrast, their catalytic performance is not satisfactory, which hinders real wastewater remediation. To overcome this shortcoming, various strategies are developed to design new perovskite oxide-based materials to enhance their catalytic activities in advanced oxidation process (AOPs). This review article is to provide overview of basic principle and different methods of AOPs, while the strategies to design novel perovskite oxide-based composites for enhancing the catalytic activities in AOPs have been highlighted. Moreover, the recent progress of their synthesis and applications in wastewater remediation (pertaining to the period 2016-2022) was described, and the related mechanisms were thoroughly discussed. This review article helps scientists to have a clear outlook on the selection and design of new effective perovskite oxide-based materials for the application of AOPs. At the end of the review, perspective on the challenges and future research directions are discussed.

Abstract
Mechanical vibrations and solar energy are ubiquitous in the environment. Hereon, we report the synergic enhancement of the oxidation by simultaneously harvesting solar and mechanical vibrations through flexible piezo and photocatalytic composite nanofiber mats. Surface enriched titanium dioxide nanoparticles incorporated in polyacrylonitrile (PAN/TiO2) nanofibers were synthesized using a single pot electrospinning process with well-defined fiber diameters with widely tunable loading density. By incorporating photocatalytic TiO2 in flexible piezoelectric PAN nanofiber support, piezoelectric fields generated under the mechanical deformation promote the separation of the photogenerated electrons and holes to accelerate oxidation of pollutants. Our results demonstrated that the catalytic activity of PAN/TiO2 nanofibers in photodegradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) can be greatly enhanced by environmental vibration-induced piezoelectricity of PAN nanofibers, with a maximum enhancement factor of ~2.5. The working mechanism for the enhanced photocatalytic activity of PAN/TiO2 nanofibers by the mechanical vibrations were attributed to the piezoelectric effect of PAN nanofibers, which could efficiently promote the separation of the photogenerated electrons and holes in the TiO2 nanoparticles. We believe the approach to enhancing the catalytic activity of mat can make full use of the polymer properties and natural energy, and it also can be extended to other composite polymer/semiconductor systems.

Abstract
In the past century, ferroelectrics are well known in electroceramics and microelectronics for their unique ferroelectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and photovoltaic effects. Nowadays, the advances in understanding and tuning of these properties have greatly promoted a broader application potential especially in energy and environmental fields, by harvesting solar, mechanical, and heat energies. For example, high piezoelectricity and high pyroelectricity can be designed by defect or microstructure engineering for piezo- and pyro-catalyst, respectively. Moreover, highly piezoelectric and broadband (UV-Vis-NIR) light-responsive ferroelectrics can be designed via defect engineering, giving rise to a new concept of photoferroelectrics for efficient photocatalysis, piezocatalysis, pyrocatalysis, and related cocatalysis. This article first summarizes the recent developments in ferroelectrics in terms of piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity, and photovoltaic effects based on defect and microstructure engineering. Then, the potential applications in energy generation (i.e., photovoltaic effect, H2 generation, and self-powered multisource energy harvesting and signal sensing) and environmental protection (i.e., photo-piezo-pyro- cocatalytic dye degradation and CO2 reduction) are reviewed. Finally, the outlook and challenges are discussed. This article not only covers an overview of the state-of-art advances of ferroelectrics, but also prospects their applications in coping with energy crisis and environmental pollution.

Abstract
Perovskite has been widely concerned in the field of modern environmental catalysis due to its low price, high stability, excellent catalytic activity, diverse structure and strong conversion adaptability. In recent years, people have been working on the coupling of perovskite catalysts and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) on the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater. In this review, we classified perovskites of different designs and summarized the application and basic reaction mechanisms of each perovskite in different AOPs. This review helps scientists selecting and designing more effective perovskite catalysts for AOPs by summarizing the applications and reaction mechanisms of perovskite in AOPs. At the end of the review, the challenges and future directions of perovskite in removing organic pollutants from wastewater are discussed.

Abstract
Sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) are lately applied for the degradation of various pollutants through the formation of reactive oxidant species (ROS) from activation of oxidants, such as persulfate (PS) or peroxymonosulfate (PMS). In this study, LaMO3 (M=Co, Fe, Cu, Mn, Ni) perovskite catalysts were synthesized, characterized by several techniques, and tested for the activation of persulfate towards the degradation of phenolic pollutants. The effect of substitution of position B of La-based perovskites as well as calcination temperature was studied. Overall, the results showed that the decisive role in the catalytic activity was the presence of structures that enhance the transfer of electrons between perovskite and oxidant. LaNiO3 followed by LaCoO3 were found as the most active catalysts. Finally, the stability of the catalysts was studied, showing that B-metal leaching is significant for both catalysts, with LaCoO3 being the most stable one.

Abstract
Over more than three decades, the field of engineering of photocatalytic materials with unique properties and enhanced performance has received a huge attention. In this regard, different classes of materials were fabricated and used for different photocatalytic applications. Among these materials, recently multifunctional XTiO3 perovskites have drawn outstanding interest towards environmental remediation and energy conversion thanks to their unique structural, optical, physiochemical, electrical and thermal characteristics. XTiO3 perovskites are able to initiate different surface catalytic reactions. Under ultrasonic vibration or heating, XTiO3 perovskites can induce piezo-catalytic reactions due to the titling of their conduction and valence bands, resulting in the formation of separated charge carriers in the medium. In addition, under light irradiation, XTiO3 perovskites are considered as a new class of photocatalysts for environmental and energy related applications. Herein, we addressed the recent advances on variously synthesized, doped and formulated XTiO3 perovskite-type oxides showing piezo- and/or photocatalytic exploitation in environmental remediation and energy conversion. The control of structural crystallite size and phase, conductivity, morphology, oxygen vacancy control, doping agents and ratio has a significant role on the photocatalytic and piezocatalytic activities. The different piezo or/and photocatalytic processes mechanistic pathways towards varying applications were discussed. The current challenges facing these materials and future trends were addressed at the end of the review.

Abstract
The built-in electric field can be generated in the piezoelectric materials under mechanical stress. The resulting piezoelectric effect is beneficial to charge separation in photocatalysis. Meanwhile, the mechanical stress usually gives rise to accelerated mass transfer and enhanced catalytic activity. Unfortunately, it remains a challenge to differentiate the contribution of these two factors to catalytic performance. Herein, for the first time, isostructural metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), i.e., UiO-66-NH2 (Zr) and UiO-66-NH2 (Hf), are adopted for piezo-photocatalysis. Both MOFs, featuring the same structures except for diverse Zr/Hf-oxo clusters, possess distinctly different piezoelectric properties. Strikingly, UiO-66-NH2 (Hf) exhibits ≈2.2 times of activity compared with that of UiO-66-NH2 (Zr) under simultaneous light and ultrasonic irradiation, though both MOFs display similar activity in the photocatalytic H2 production without ultrasonic irradiation. Given their similar pore features and mass transfer behaviors, the activity difference is unambiguously assignable to the piezoelectric effect. As a result, the contributions of the piezoelectric effect to the piezo-photocatalysis can be clearly distinguished owing to the stronger piezoelectric property of UiO-66-NH2 (Hf).

Abstract
Piezocatalysis, converting mechanical vibration into chemical energy, is an emerging technology to address environmental issues. In this work, we propose an efficient method to significantly improve the piezocatalytic activity by morphology engineering rather than composition design. The catalytic property in BaTiO3 nanocrystallites with diverse morphologies is investigated by dye degradation and hydrogen production under ultrasonic vibration. The BaTiO3 nanosheets exhibit an excellent piezocatalytic activity with a degradation rate of 0.1279 min-1 for Rhodamine B, far beyond those in previous piezocatalytic literature and even comparable to excellent photocatalysts, and also a high hydrogen production rate of 92 μmol g-1 h-1. Compared with nanowires and nanoparticles, the 2D morphology greatly enhances the piezocatalytic activity in nanosheets owing to much larger piezoelectric potential. This proves that the piezocatalytic property is dominated by the morphology-dependent piezoelectricity, rather than specific surface area as other catalysis. Dominated by bending vibrating mode, the piezocatalytic activity reaches a maximum at the piezoelectric resonating frequency, and it increases with the ultrasonic power. Moreover, it has good reusability and wide versatility for catalytic degradation. This work gives an in-depth understanding of piezocatalytic mechanism and provides a way to develop high performance and eco-friendly piezocatalysts.

Abstract
Strain-induced internal electric fields present a significant path to boosting the separation of photoinduced electrons and holes. In addition, piezo-induced positive/negative pairs could be released smoothly, taking advantage of the excellent electroconductibility of some conductors. Herein, the hybrid piezo-photocatalysis is constructed by combining debut piezoelectric nanosheets (Bi4O5I2) and typical conductor multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT). The photocatalytic degradation efficiency that the hybrid CNT/Bi4O5I2 exhibits was remarkably increased by more than 2.3 times under ultrasonic vibration, due to the piezo-generated internal electric field. In addition, the transient photocurrent spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance measurement reveal that the CNT coating on Bi4O5I2 enhances the piezo-induced positive/negative migration. Therefore, the piezocatalytic activity of CNT/Bi4O5I2 could be improved by three times, compared with pure Bi4O5I2 nanosheets. Our results may offer promising approaches to sketching efficient piezo-photocatalysis for the full utilization of solar energy or mechanical vibration.

Ultrasonic activation of inert poly(tetrafluoroethylene) enables piezocatalytic generation of reactive oxygen species. Nat Commun 2021; 12:3508.

Abstract
Controlled generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is essential in biological, chemical, and environmental fields, and piezoelectric catalysis is an emerging method to generate ROS, especially in sonodynamic therapy due to its high tissue penetrability, directed orientation, and ability to trigger in situ ROS generation. However, due to the low piezoelectric coefficient, and environmental safety and chemical stability concerns of current piezoelectric ROS catalysts, novel piezoelectric materials are urgently needed. Here, we demonstrate a method to induce polarization of inert poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) particles (<d > ~ 1-5 μm) into piezoelectric electrets with a mild and convenient ultrasound process. Continued ultrasonic irradiation of the PTFE electrets generates ROS including hydroxyl radicals (•OH), superoxide (•O2-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) at rates significantly faster than previously reported piezoelectric catalysts. In summary, ultrasonic activation of inert PTFE particles is a simple method to induce permanent PTFE polarization and to piezocatalytically generate aqueous ROS that is desirable in a wide-range of applications from environmental pollution control to biomedical therapy.

Abstract
A flexible poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) composite film embedding LiNbO3 ceramics decorated with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) has been synthesized using the solvent casting method. The polar β-phase, Ag NPs, and LiNbO3 phases were confirmed in the composite film using various characterization methods. The composite film showed promising degradation of cationic and anionic dyes using piezocatalysis under ultrasonication. Moreover, this composite film also effectively degraded two model pharmaceutical pollutants named tetracycline and ciprofloxacin using piezocatalysis under ultrasonication. In addition to this, this composite film piezocatalytically removed more than 99.999% of Escherichia coli and 96.65% of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria within 180 min of sonication. The piezocatalytic performance of the PVDF composite film embedding Ag-loaded LiNbO3 in all three applications was superior to that obtained in the case of the PVDF film embedding LiNbO3 and the bare PVDF film. This demonstrates the pronounced effect of Ag NPs in the increase of piezocatalytic activity in the composite film.
