Scalable synthesis of Bi2O2S nanoplates with large piezoelectric potential induced by a built-in electric field in a [Bi2O2]2+ layer for the degradation of organic contaminants

Abstract

2D piezoelectric catalysts with strong piezoresponse have valuable applications in catalytic degradation of pollutants and antibiotics, but the development of novel nanomaterials with powerful piezopotential still remains a serious challenge.
