Abstract

Piezoelectric effect, commonly known as a change in electric polarization in piezoelectric/ferroelectric materials under mechanical stress, is extensively employed as a driving force for the catalytic degradation of organic pollutants. However, the relationship between electric polarization and piezocatalytic activity is still unclear. In this work, we investigated the role of ferroelectric polarization in the piezocatalytic activity of BaTiO 3 nanoparticles through annealing BaTiO 3 at different temperatures or poling BaTiO 3 at different electric fields. The BaTiO 3 nanoparticles annealed at 800 °C exhibit effectively enhanced piezocatalytic activity compared with those annealed at other temperatures. The polycrystalline particles annealed at higher temperatures exhibit a greatly reduced catalytic activity. After poling, the piezocatalytic activity of the polycrystalline BaTiO 3 particles was obviously improved. In addition, we identified the free radical species and the intermediate products of the catalytic reaction. We also well-explained the dependence of electric polarization in the BaTiO 3 piezocatalyst on annealing temperature and ultrasonic vibration theoretically. Our study indicates that increasing ferroelectric polarization (but not crystallite size) can effectively enhance the piezocatalytic activity. We believe that the present work provides a clear understanding of the role of ferroelectric polarization in piezocatalysis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
