Abstract
Piezoelectric catalysis stemmed from lead-free piezoelectric ceramics is an emerging catalytic technology applied extensively in degradation of organic pollutants due to its low energy consumption and non-pollution. However, the dissatisfied catalytic efficiency of lead-free piezoelectric ceramics has constrained their further development and application. Herein, we employ ion doping to modulate the phase boundary construction of BaTiO3-based piezoelectric ceramics (BaTi(1-x)(Zr1/3Sn1/3Hf1/3)xO3, BTZSH-x), and the degradation performances of organic dyes are explored to illuminate the piezo-catalytic mechanism. The ion doping alters the phase boundary of BaTiO3 ceramics and a two-phase coexistence of rhombohedral-orthorhombic is achieved at room temperature in BTZSH-0.04 ceramic. Consequently, the BTZSH-0.04 ceramic exhibits an excellent degradation efficiency of rhodamine B with 97.27% in 60min and a high reaction rate constant of 0.056 min−1 under ultrasonication which is 7.4 times more than that of pristine BaTiO3. This work provides an advisable policy for constructing environmental-friendly piezoelectric materials with glorious piezo-catalytic activity.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
