Abstract Engineering active sites to boost the catalytic performance of semiconducting materials is current interest. Herein, enhanced hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) production via oxygen (O reduction through a surface‐substituting strategy reported, in which surface Zn─O bonds are partially halogenated one‐step simple calcination process. The experimental data validated presence halogen on modulated band structures prepared materials, leading with optimal samples, ZnO‐Cl, generating up 6.3 µmol h −1 H under piezo‐photocatalytic conditions from pure water. In addition, theoretical calculation demonstrates binding energy for halogen‐defecting would be more stable adsorption than pristine ZnO. Furthermore, thermodynamic states piezo‐catalytic, piezocatalytic, and photocatalytic also evaluated temperature‐dependent aerobic degradation methylene blue (MB). results show that piezo‐photocatalysis can help enhance by lowering activation barrier, relate entropy‐enthalpy compensation effects. This study not only provides approach synthesizing highly catalysts produce but interprets fundamental insights into how ultrasound outcomes, benefiting both material communities.
