Piezocatalytic and Photocatalytic Hydrogen Peroxide Evolution of Sulfide Solid Solution Nano-Branches from Pure Water and Air

Sen Lin et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the performance of CdxZn1-xS nano-branches in piezocatalytic and photocatalytic H2O2 production. The synthesized solid solutions show higher H2O2 yields than pristine ZnS and CdS under ultrasound conditions. The optimal evolution rate reaches 21.9 mu mol g(-1) h(-1) for Cd0.5Zn0.5S without any sacrificial agent, and increases to 151.6 mu mol g(-1) h(-1) under visible light irradiation. The nano-branch structure benefits mechanical energy conversion and H2O2 evolution, and a higher concentration of charge carriers is generated in photocatalysis.

Insight into oxygen-vacancy regulation on piezocatalytic activity of (Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3 crystallites: Experiments and first-principles calculations

Dai-Ming Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the role of oxygen vacancy (OV) in piezocatalysis and finds that OV can both enhance and weaken the piezocatalytic performance, depending on the concentration. The increase in OV concentration improves the adsorption of O-2 and OH- and enhances charge concentration, resulting in the generation of active radicals and boosting piezocatalytic activity. However, the increase in OV weakens the piezoelectric property, leading to decreased active oxygen species and suppressed piezocatalytic activity.
