摘要
Recently, piezocatalysis induced by perovskite ferroelectric ceramics has widely been favored as a possible fascinating strategy for water remediation due to its low cost, simplicity and feasibility. Herein, a strategy of three-ferroelectric-phase coexistence is proposed to boost the piezocatalytic performance of BaTiO3-based ceramics by introducing Ca(Sn0.5Zr0.5)O3 into BaTiO3. The piezocatalysts of (1-x)BaTiO3–xCa(Sn0.5Zr0.5)O3 ceramics were prepared by a high-temperature solid-phase method. The phase structure, microstructure, electrical properties and catalytic performance of ceramics were comprehensively studied. As x increases from 0 to 0.10, the ceramics undergo the phase evolution from single tetragonal phase to multiphase (coexistence of rhombic, orthorhombic, and tetragonal phases). It is found that the phase structure of the ceramics plays a critical role in enhancing the piezocatalytic activity. The pure BaTiO3 exhibits the tetragonal (T) phase with few spontaneous polarization directions and high polarization rotational energy barrier, resulting in poor catalytic performance and low piezoelectricity. With the coexistence of rhombic (R), orthorhombic (O) and tetragonal (T) phases, the ceramic with x = 0.1 exhibits the increased spontaneous polarization directions and low polarization rotational energy barrier, leading to excellent catalytic performance and high piezoelectricity. Especially, for the ceramics with x = 0.10, the degradation rates of rhodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) under ultrasonication reach 97 %, 93 % and 73 %, respectively. In addition, the influencing factors of piezocatalytic degradation of RhB and the catalytic mechanism are investigated. This work proposes an environmentally friendly piezoelectric material for improving the water environment and a strategy for improving the catalytic activity of BaTiO3-based lead-free piezoelectric materials.
