Abstract
Tribocatalysis is a method that converts mechanical energy into chemical energy. In this study, we synthesized tungsten bronze structured Ba0.75Sr0.25Nb1.9Ta0.1O6 ferroelectric ceramic submicron powder using a traditional solid-state route, and the powder exhibited excellent performance in tribocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production. Under the friction stirring of three polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) magnetic stirring bars in pure water, the rate of hydrogen generation by the Ba0.75Sr0.25Nb1.9Ta0.1O6 ferroelectric submicron powder is 200 μmol h-1 g-1, and after 72 hours, the accumulated hydrogen production reaches 15 892.8 μmol g-1. Additionally, this ferroelectric tungsten bronze ferroelectric material also exhibits excellent tribocatalytic degradation ability toward RhB dyes, with degradation efficiency reaching 96% in 2 hours. The study of tribocatalysis based on tungsten bronze ferroelectric materials represents a significant step forward in versatile energy utilization for clean energy and environmental wastewater degradation.

SMALL METHODS 2024:e2301784.

Abstract
Tribocatalysis is vitally important for electrochemistry, energy conservation, and water treatment. Exploring eco-friendly and low-cost tribocatalysts with high performance is crucial for practical applications. Here, the highly efficient tribocatalytic performance of FeOOH nanorods is reported. The factors related to the tribocatalytic activity such as nanorod diameter, surface area, and surface roughness are investigated, and the diameter of the FeOOH nanorods is found to have a significant effect on their tribocatalytic performance. As a result, under ultrasonic excitation, the optimized FeOOH nanorods exhibit superior tribocatalytic degradation toward rhodamine B (RhB), acid orange 7, methylene blue, methyl orange dyes, and their mixture. The RhB and mixed dyes are effectively degraded within 20 min (k = 0.179 min-1 ) and 35 min (k = 0.089 min-1 ), respectively, with the FeOOH nanorods showing excellent reusability. Moreover, antibiotics, such as tetracycline hydrochloride, phenol, and bisphenol A are efficiently degraded. Investigation of the catalytic mechanism reveals that the friction-generated h+ as well as these yielded •OH and •O2 - active radicals participate in the catalytic reaction. This work not only shed light on the design of high-performance tribocatalyst but also demonstrates that by harvesting mechanical energy, the FeOOH nanorods are promising materials for removing organic contaminants in wastewater.

Abstract
Tribocatalysis research, leveraging the triboelectric effect, presents significant potential for environmental water pollution control. However, there is a notable scarcity of studies pertaining to tribocatalysis involving heterojunctions, particularly in the context of p-n junction tribocatalysis. In this study, we employed a one-step solvothermal method to synthesize a Cu1.8S/CuCo2S4 p-n junction composite catalyst. Subsequently, we explored the tribocatalytic degradation performance of organic pollutants facilitated by the Cu1.8S/CuCo2S4 catalyst. The findings reveal that, under simple magnetic stirring conditions, the degradation rates achieved by the Cu1.8S/CuCo2S4 catalyst for tetracycline (TC), methylene blue (MB), and methyl orange (MO) are remarkably high, reaching 99.9 %, 99.7 %, and 94.0 %, respectively. This underscores the broad applicability of the Cu1.8S/CuCo2S4 catalyst for the tribocatalytic degradation of diverse organic pollutants. Experimental evidence establishes that friction occurring between the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) magnet rod, the beaker, and the catalyst induces charge transfer at their interfaces, generating highly oxidized active species that effectively decompose pollutants. Through free radical capture and electron spin resonance (ESR) tests, it was empirically determined and validated that the principal active species involved in tribocatalytic degradation are holes (h+) and superoxide radicals (O2-). Incorporating insights from the experimental characterization of p-n junctions and density functional theory (DFT) theoretical calculations, we propose a plausible tribocatalytic mechanism for Cu1.8S/CuCo2S4. This research not only contributes novel findings but also serves as a reference for the exploration of innovative heterojunction tribocatalysts.

Abstract
This study investigates the impact of Sr doping on the tribocatalytic performance of BaTiO3 in degrading organic pollutants. Ba1-xSrxTiO3 (x = 0-0.3) nanopowders are synthesized and their tribocatalytic performance evaluated. By doping Sr into BaTiO3, the tribocatalytic performance was enhanced, resulting in an approximately 35% improvement in the degradation efficiency of Rhodamine B using Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3. Factors such as the friction contact area, stirring speed, and materials of the friction pairs also influenced the dye degradation. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed that Sr doping improved BaTiO3's charge transfer efficiency, thereby boosting its tribocatalytic performance. These findings indicate potential applications for Ba1-xSrxTiO3 in dye degradation processes.

Abstract
More and more metal oxide nanomaterials are being synthesized and investigated for degradation of organic pollutants through harvesting friction energy, yet the strategy to optimize their performance for this application has not been carefully explored up to date. In this work, three commercially available ZnO powders are selected and compared for tribocatalytic degradation of organic dyes, among which ZnO-1 and ZnO-2 are agglomerates of spherical nanoparticles around 20 nm, and ZnO-3 are particles of high crystallinity with a regular prismatic shape and smooth surfaces, ranging from 50 to 150 nm. Compared with ZnO-1 and ZnO-2, ZnO-3 exhibits a much higher tribocatalytic degradation performance, and a high degradation rate constant of 6.566 × 10-2 min-1 is achieved for RhB, which is superior compared with previous tribocatalytic reports. The stability and universality of ZnO-3 were demonstrated through cycling tests and degradation of different types of dyes. Furthermore, the mechanism of tribocatalysis revealed that h+ was the main active species in the degradation process by ZnO. This work highlights the great significance of high crystallinity rather than a large specific surface area for the development of high-performance tribocatalysts and demonstrates the great potential of tribocatalysis for water remediation.

Abstract
Tribocatalysis, as a new approach in environmental purification, has drawn increasing attention in the past few years. In this work, we successfully convert mechanical energy to chemical energy by Bi12TiO20, which was synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Under magnetic stirring, electrons transfer from the surface of Bi12TiO20 to the polytetrafluoroethylene-sealed magnetic bar due to their friction. Moreover, the holes that remain on Bi12TiO20 provide oxidation properties in the process for organic matter degradation. According to a series of tests, it is noticed that the shape of the stirring bar and the material of the reaction vessel have a remarkable influence on the removal efficiency of contaminants. Simultaneously, multiple tests reveal the high stability of Bi12TiO20. A great potential for Bi12TiO20 to control water pollutants under dark conditions during collection of ambient mechanical energy was clearly demonstrated in this study.

Strong Tribocatalytic Nitrogen Fixation of Graphite Carbon Nitride g-C 3N 4 through Harvesting Friction Energy. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12121981.

Abstract
Mechanical energy derived from friction is a kind of clean energy which is ubiquitous in nature. In this research, two-dimensional graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is successfully applied to the conversion of nitrogen (N2) fixation through collecting the mechanical energy generated from the friction between a g-C3N4 catalyst and a stirring rod. At the stirring speed of 1000 r/min, the tribocatalytic ammonia radical (NH4+) generation rate of g-C3N4 can achieve 100.56 μmol·L−1·g−1·h−1 using methanol as a positive charge scavenger, which is 3.91 times higher than that without any scavengers. Meanwhile, ammonia is not generated without a catalyst or contact between the g-C3N4 catalyst and the stirring rod. The tribocatalytic effect originates from the friction between the g-C3N4 catalyst and the stirring rod which results in the charges transfer crossing the contact interface, then the positive and negative charges remain on the catalyst and the stirring rod respectively, which can further react with the substance dissolved in the reaction solution to achieve the conversion of N2 to ammonia. The effects of number and stirring speed of the rods on the performance of g-C3N4 tribocatalytic N2 fixation are further investigated. This excellent and efficient tribocatalysis can provide a potential avenue towards harvesting the mechanical energy in a natural environment.

Abstract
Development of efficiently catalytic strategy for oxidative purification of organic pollutants is of great significance. Photocatalysis has become one of the most important technologies in the past half a century, but the inefficiency of photocatalysts drastically suppresses its practical application. This work proposes a synergistic photopiezocatalysis of BiOIO3 under simultaneous photo-irradiation and ultrasound-vibration treatment to degrade various organic pollutants. Different from the high recombination of photo-excited charges in photocatalysis, the ultrasound-induced stress deforms the pyroelectric BiOIO3 to form a piezoelectric potential that drives photo-/thermo-generated free electrons and holes in catalyst to diffuse along opposite directions. In comparison with the single photocatalysis and piezocatalysis, the photopiezocatalysis possesses a synergistic effect, presenting evidently enhanced catalytic performance for decomposing a variety of organic dyes and a persistent organic pollutant 2,4-DCP. No apparent decrease in activity during successive five runs demonstrates that the photopiezocatalysis of BiOIO3 has a high stability and reusability. Finally, a plausible photopiezocatalysis mechanism is proposed based on the determination of active species produced on catalyst and intermediates during pollutant degradation. Our findings provide a new insight to promote charge separation and meanwhile develop an efficient synergistic photopiezocatalysis for environment remediation.
