Novel Bi2WO6/ZnSnO3 heterojunction for the ultrasonic-vibration-driven piezocatalytic degradation of RhB

Chunran Zhao et al.

Summary: This study designed and prepared a new piezoelectric catalytic nanomaterial, Bi2WO6/ZnSnO3, and applied it in piezocatalytic water purification. Results showed that the composite had superior piezocatalytic efficiency and stability in rhodamine B (RhB) degradation under ultrasonic vibration. The improved performance was attributed to the enhanced specific surface area, facilitated piezocatalytic reaction, and the formation of type-II heterojunction structures between Bi2WO6 and ZnSnO3, which improved the separation efficiency of charge carriers and greatly enhanced the piezoelectric catalytic activity.

High piezo/photocatalytic efficiency of Ag/Bi5O7I nanocomposite using mechanical and solar energy for N2 fixation and methyl orange degradation

Lu Chen et al.

Summary: In this work, an Ag/Bi5O7I nanocomposite was prepared and used for the piezo/photocatalytic reduction of N2 to NH3 and methyl orange degradation for the first time. The addition of Ag nanoparticles to the Bi5O7I nanorods enhanced the spatial separation of charge carriers and improved the catalytic performance. Under ultrasonic vibration, the optimal Ag/Bi5O7I catalyst exhibited high efficiency in MO degradation and piezocatalytic N2 fixation. Additionally, simultaneous ultrasonic vibration and light irradiation further improved the performance. However, the weak adhesion of Ag nanoparticles resulted in their detachment under long-term ultrasonic vibration, leading to a reduction in the catalytic performance.
