Mechanically driven catalysis (MDC) has emerged as an effective strategy for environmental remediation, renewable energy conversion, and cancer therapy; this functions by converting mechanical forces to drive catalytic reactions. This review examines four primary mechanisms, namely, piezocatalysis, flexocatalysis, tribocatalysis, sonocatalysis, each involving specific pathways harnessing at the nanoscale. However, significant challenges arise in decoupling effects related individual mechanism order better understand manipulate their synergies. In review, fundamental principles underpinning MDC are systematically interpreted. Beyond mechanistic insights, recent advancements performance enhancement strategies these catalysts highlighted. Potential applications using approaches remediation (pollutant antibiotic degradation microbial disinfection), conversion (hydrogen production greenhouse gas conversion), biomedical treatments (particularly therapy) discussed. Finally, synergies limiting factors explored, addressing overlooked combined of ultrasound activation source, complexities force interactions nanoscale, need targeted application strategies. Additionally, industrial potential processes with consideration scalability practical deployment is evaluated. While remain, provides a roadmap advancing mechanically catalyst design implementation toward real-world applications, offering into its future trajectory transformative impact across numerous fields.

The rational design and construction of S-scheme heterojunctions represent an effective strategy for enhancing the photocatalytic efficiency. Nevertheless, challenge enabling efficient charge migration at interface persists. Herein, a 0D/2D heterojunction photocatalyst incorporating 0D Ag quantum dots S-vacancy-modified Bi2S3 with 2D MnFe2O4 ultrathin nanosheets (AgQDs/BQDs-SV/MFO) is designed constructed via photoinduced decomposition-defect engineering strategy. Theoretical calculations experimental results demonstrate presence dots, S vacancies, nanosheet structure in AgQDs/BQDs-SV/MFO significantly improves light harvesting, separation, transfer dramatically, resulting high-efficiency degradation rate (99.5%) toward Cr(VI) under visible irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm) 30 min excellent stability. This work provides new insights constructing photocatalysts purifying Cr wastewater environmental remediation.
