Piezoelectric materials have advantages of fine-tuning photocatalytic performance through harvesting mechanical energy and open a new avenue in facilitating green catalytic reaction.Herein,polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF),a flexible piezoelectric material,was introduced to synthesize a novel Cd0.9Zn0.1S-ZnO@C/PVDF(CZS-ZO@C/PVDF)piezo-photocatalytic film by spin coating and immersion phase conver-sion method.Benefiting from the piezoelectricity of PVDF and the internal electric field(IEF)of CZS-ZO@C Step-scheme(S-Scheme)heterojunction,CZS-ZO@C/PVDF was able to induce a hydrogen generation rate of 34.9 mmol g-1 h-1 activated by ultrasound and visible light(U-L),which is~17.5 times of Cd0.9Zn0.1S/PVDF(CZS/PVDF)and~7.4 times of the photocatalysis rate activated by visible light only(L).Piezoelectric measurements and COMSOL simulation illustrated the excellent piezoelectricity of CZS-ZO@C/PVDF film,which exhibits a piezoelectric coefficient(d33)of 9.9 pm V-1 and a piezoelectric poten-tial of 874 mV(under 0.5 MPa).The reaction mechanism for the exceptional piezo-photocatalytic perfor-mance was finally disclosed through density functional theory(DFT)calculation and electrochemical tests.This study enriches the application scope of piezoelectric materials in sustainable energy catalysis and provides a new direction to develop efficient piezoelectric photocatalysts.
