Nano Letters, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 24(11), С. 3361 - 3368

Опубликована: Март 6, 2024

For the first time, a series of MXene (Ti3C2Tx)/Bi2WO6 Schottky junction piezocatalysts were constructed, and piezocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity was explored. Optimal Ti3C2Tx/Bi2WO6 exhibits highest rate 764.4 μmol g–1 h–1, which is nearly 8 times higher than that pure Ti3C2Tx twice as high Bi2WO6. This value also surpasses most recently reported typical piezocatalysts. Moreover, related experimental results density functional theory calculations reveal can provide unique channels for efficient electron transfer, enhance piezoelectric properties, optimize adsorption Gibbs free energy water, reduce activation atoms, endow robust separation capacity charge carrier, restrict electron–hole recombination rate, thus significantly promoting efficiency reaction. Ultimately, we have unraveled an innovative mechanism. work broadens scope materials in sustainable piezocatalysis application.

Abstract This study explores the role of S vacancies in MoS 2 enhancing its piezocatalytic efficiency. Sulfur crystal lattice introduce localized changes electronic structure and charge distribution, improving material's piezoelectric response. Characterization catalysts involved techniques like field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission (TEM), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Electrochemical measurements, including impedance (EIS) Mott–Schottky (M‐S) analysis, are performed to assess performance. The also employed density functional theory (DFT) calculations investigate hydrogen adsorption properties with vacancies. results demonstrated that S‐deficient significantly enhanced H evolution. production rates different vacancy concentrations measured under ultrasonic vibration. sample an optimal concentration (MS‐1) exhibited highest rate 1423.29 µmol g −1 h , compared 439.06 for pristine (MS‐0). improved performance is attributed increased polarization efficient separation facilitated by

Abstract Piezocatalytic Fenton (PF) system emerges as a promising approach to wastewater treatment by leveraging piezocatalysis enhance Fenton‐like reactions. However, conventional piezocatalysts encounter challenges because they often compromise catalytic properties in biased favor of superior piezoelectricity, resulting sluggish kinetics. To tackle this trade‐off, here novel class kesterite‐type narrow bandgap piezoelectrics, Cu 2 XSnS 4 (CXTS, X = Zn, Ni, Co), is developed for PF reactions, which exhibit unique combination physicochemical attributes favorable catalysis such (1.2–1.5 eV), high free charge density (1 × 10 18 cm −3 ), mobility, and redox activity while retaining excellent piezoelectricity (62–142 pm V −1 ). With the well‐balanced piezoelectric, semiconducting, properties, CXTS‐based systems demonstrate outstanding performance tetracycline degradation, delivering notable reaction kinetics 0.34 min only with minor H O dosage (1.2 m outperforming most reactions requiring large amount factor up 10. Such remarkable fulfilled simultaneously effective activation situ generation reactive oxygen species from water via piezocatalysis. Additionally, distinctive hierarchical morphology consisting 2D nanosheets enables easy crystal domain deformation trigger piezoelectric effect, thereby drastically reducing mechanical energy input required drive Rigorous testing has validated viability practical feasibility system. The study offers new design strategy highly efficient systems, enabling cost‐effective sustainable approach.
