Herein, solid phase and one-step molten salt processes were used to prepare SrBi<sub>2</sub>Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>9</sub> (SBN) powders with granular and sheet morphologies, respectively. The influence of micromorphology on the piezo-photocatalytic performances of SBN was determined by degrading ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIP). SBN nanosheets demonstrate remarkable piezo-photocatalytic performance, achieving an 89.13% CIP degradation rate in 60 min and an apparent rate constant of 34.73 × 10<sup>−3</sup> min<sup>−1</sup>. This performance is approximately 2.65 times higher than that of granular SBN and outperformed many recently reported piezo-photocatalysts under similar experimental conditions. Free radical trapping techniques, electron spin resonance spectroscopy and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry are utilized to study the potential paths and mechanisms of CIP degradation. Piezoresponse force microscopy and finite element simulation show that the piezo-response of SBN nanosheets is significantly higher than that of granular SBN. SBN nanosheets achieve high degradation efficiency due to their optimized conduction band positions and enhanced piezoelectric effect, facilitated by the two-dimensional nanosheet structures. In this work, the piezoelectric internal electric field of piezoelectric catalysts can be increased by tuning the catalyst morphology, which points to a possible direction for the production of high-performance piezoelectric catalysts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10151,"journal":{"name":"结构化学","volume":"44 5","pages":"Article 100569"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144069368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the constraints of existing scaling relationships and competing hydrogen evolution reaction, it is still challenging to achieve high selectivity of a single desired product. In this work, high-entropy alloy (HEA) CuMoRuFeW surface skin on Cu nanorods was obtained by a one-pot co-reduction method.

In terms of material design, new polymer skeleton structures are emerging to regulate the stability of ion conduction channels and membranes by introducing specific functional groups or changing the molecular chain structure. The preparation methods have been gradually expanded from the traditional solution casting method to more advanced technologies, such as interfacial polymerization and electrostatic spinning, which effectively improve the microstructure and property uniformity of the film. Performance optimization focuses on improving ion conductivity, reducing membrane swelling rate and enhancing chemical stability, and a variety of modification strategies are developed and applied. Despite the achievements made so far, there are still some challenges, such as the lack of long-term stability in highly alkaline environments.

However, the currently available Ni-based catalysts are confronted with low light-driven DRM efficiency and poor stability attributed to the coking. Herein, an atomically dispersed Ni-loaded CeO<sub>2</sub> (Ni/CeO<sub>2</sub>) for light-driven DRM is prepared by employing a polyol-mediated doping method to allow the high loading concentration of Ni on the CeO<sub>2</sub>, which overcomes the conventional atomically dispersed metal problem of low loading content. The atomically dispersed nature of the Ni can induce enormous CH<sub>4</sub> activation sites for the reaction and photothermal effects for driving the reaction, while the CeO<sub>2</sub> can facilitate CO<sub>2</sub> activation. Therefore, the optimized atomically dispersed Ni-loaded CeO<sub>2</sub> demonstrates an excellent light-driven DRM performance for H<sub>2</sub> (626.5 mmol g<sub>cat</sub><sup>−1</sup> h<sup>−1</sup>) and CO (728.5 mmol g<sub>cat</sub><sup>−1</sup> h<sup>−1</sup>) production. More importantly, the optimized sample sustains its DRM performance after 100 h of continuous test, and such excellent stability of the presence of enormous Ni–O pairs can prevent the rapid conversion of CH<em><sub>x</sub></em> intermediates into coke.
