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

Mechanochemistry has been studied for some time, but research on the reactivity of charges exchanged by contact-electrification (CE) during mechanical stimulation remains scarce. Here, we demonstrate that electrons transferred CE between pristine dielectric powders and water can be utilized to directly catalyze reactions without use conventional catalysts. Specifically, frequent at Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) - interface induces electron-exchanges, thus forming reactive oxygen species degradation an aqueous methyl orange solution. Contact-electro-catalysis, conjunction CE, mechanochemistry catalysis, proposed as a general mechanism, which demonstrated effective various materials, such Teflon, Nylon-6,6 rubber. This original catalytic principle not only expands range also enables us envisage processes through mechano-induced contact-electrification.
