Tribocatalysis is an emerging advanced oxidation process that utilizes the triboelectric effect, based on friction between dissimilar materials to produce charges that can initiate various catalytic reactions. In this study, pure and rare-earth-modified ZnO powders (La2O3, Eu2O3, 2 mol %) were demonstrated as efficient tribocatalysts for the removal of the tetracycline antibiotic doxycycline (DC). While the pure ZnO samples achieved 49% DC removal within 24 h at a stirring rate of 100 rpm, the addition of Eu2O3 increased the removal efficiency to 67%, and La2O3-modified ZnO powder exhibited the highest removal efficiency, reaching 80% at the same stirring rate. Additionally, increasing the stirring rate to 300 and 500 rpm led to 100% DC removal in the ZnO/La case within 18 h, with the pronounced effect of the stirring rate confirming the tribocatalytic effect. All tribocatalysts exhibited excellent recycling properties, with less than a 3% loss of activity over three cycles. Furthermore, a scavenger assay confirmed the importance of superoxide radical generation for the overall reaction rate. The results of this investigation indicate that the rare-earth-modified ZnO tribocatalysts can effectively utilize mechanical energy to decompose pollutants in contaminated water.
