Abstract:
Piezocatalysis, governed by piezo-potential within piezoelectrics, has gained prominence for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which is significant to environmental and biological applications. However, designing piezocatalysts with excellent piezocatalytic performance in a wide temperature and efficient charge carrier separation ability is still challenging. Herein, eco-friendly BaTiO3 (BT)-based perovskite ferroelectrics with tailored multiphase coexistence in a wide temperature range are constructed to boost higher piezoelectricity and large piezo-potential, which is attributed to decreased polarization anisotropy by flat Gibbs energy profile. Elevated piezo-potential in designed BT-based piezocatalyst guarantees high-efficient generation rate of center dot OH (200 mu mol g(-1) h(-1)) and center dot O-2(-) (40 mu mol g(-1) h(-1)) by ultrasound stimulation, which is 3.5 times more than that of pure BT. Besides, piezocatalytic capacity to degrade dye wastewater shows a rate constant of 0.0182 min(-1) and gives an antibacterial rate of 95% within 30 min for eliminating E. coli. Theoretical simulations validate that the local distortion of TiO6 octahedra also contributes to piezocatalytic performance by inducing electron-hole pairs separation in real space, and better response to slight structural deformation. This work is important to design high-performance piezocatalysts with high-efficiency ROS generation for sewage treatment and sonodynamic therapy.
