Abstract
Malignant tumors are one of the main diseases leading to death, and the vigorous development of nanotechnology has opened up new frontiers for antitumor therapy. Currently, researchers are focused on solving the biomedical challenges associated with traditional anti-tumor medical methods, promoting the research and development of nano-drug carriers and new nano-drugs, which brings great hope for improving the curative effect and reducing toxic and side effects. Among the new systems being investigated, piezoelectric nano biomaterials, including ferroelectrics, piezoelectric and pyroelectric materials, have recently received extensive attention for antitumor applications. By coupling force, light, magnetism or heat and electricity, polarized charges are generated in these materials microscopically, forming a piezo-potential and establishing a built-in electric field. Polarized charges can directly act on the materials in the tumor micro-environment and also assist in the separation of carriers and inhibit recombination based on piezoelectric theory and piezoelectric optoelectronic theory. Based on this, piezoelectric materials convert various forms of primary energy (such as light energy, mechanical energy, thermal energy and magnetic energy) from the surrounding environment into secondary energy (such as electrical energy and chemical energy). Herein, we review the basic theory and principles of piezoelectric materials, pyroelectric materials and ferroelectric materials as nanomedicine. Then, we summarize the types of piezoelectric materials reported to date and their wide applications in treatment, imaging, device construction and probe detection in various tumor treatment fields. Based on this, we discuss the relevant characteristics and post-processing strategies of nano piezoelectric biomaterials to obtain the maximum piezoelectric response. Finally, we present the key challenges and future prospects for the development of ferroelectric, piezoelectric and pyroelectric nanomaterial-based nanoagents for efficient energy harvesting and conversion for desirable therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
In this work, explicitly pyro-catalytic performance is observed in sol-gel-synthesized ferroelectric Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 lead-free nanomaterials, and its application for dye wastewater purification is also actualized under temperature fluctuations varying from 23 °C to 63 °C. The decomposition ratios of the pyro-catalytic Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 nanomaterials on Rhodamine B, methyl blue and methyl orange can reach 96.75%, 98.35% and 19.97%, respectively. In the pyro-catalytic process, the probed active species such as hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals and holes play an extremely important role in decomposing dye molecules. The ferroelectric Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 lead-free nanomaterials will have an excellent prospect for dye wastewater purification due to its explicit pyro-catalysis.

Abstract
In the past century, ferroelectrics are well known in electroceramics and microelectronics for their unique ferroelectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and photovoltaic effects. Nowadays, the advances in understanding and tuning of these properties have greatly promoted a broader application potential especially in energy and environmental fields, by harvesting solar, mechanical, and heat energies. For example, high piezoelectricity and high pyroelectricity can be designed by defect or microstructure engineering for piezo- and pyro-catalyst, respectively. Moreover, highly piezoelectric and broadband (UV-Vis-NIR) light-responsive ferroelectrics can be designed via defect engineering, giving rise to a new concept of photoferroelectrics for efficient photocatalysis, piezocatalysis, pyrocatalysis, and related cocatalysis. This article first summarizes the recent developments in ferroelectrics in terms of piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity, and photovoltaic effects based on defect and microstructure engineering. Then, the potential applications in energy generation (i.e., photovoltaic effect, H2 generation, and self-powered multisource energy harvesting and signal sensing) and environmental protection (i.e., photo-piezo-pyro- cocatalytic dye degradation and CO2 reduction) are reviewed. Finally, the outlook and challenges are discussed. This article not only covers an overview of the state-of-art advances of ferroelectrics, but also prospects their applications in coping with energy crisis and environmental pollution.
