Poling effect on piezocatalytic antibacterial and dye degradation activities of BaTiO3 nanoparticles embedded cotton fabric

Cotton functionalized with polyethylene glycol and graphene oxide for dual thermoregulating and UV-protection applications

“…In both samples, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and silicon were observed as the main constituent elements 41,45,46 . During the processing of textiles (spinning/ weaving/chemical processing), different silicon-based softeners are applied to yarn or fabric to improve its smoothness and prevent it from being damaged by different machine parts.…”

“…The cellulose CH 2 symmetric bending is associated with the band at 1428 cm −1 , while the C-H and C-O groups bending vibrations are correlated with the bands at 1360 and 1316 cm −1 , respectively. The C-O-C stretching of β-glycosidic linkage is attributed to the band at 1160 cm −1 , while an intense band at 1030 cm −1 is observed due to the C-O stretching of C-6 in cellulose [41][42][43] . The formation of carboxyl terminated PEG was confirmed by carbonyl stretching (C=O) vibration of ester bond at 1720 cm −1 and absorption band observed at 3421 cm −1 which relates to the free -OH group of PEG 33 .…”

Oxygen-phosphorus-codoped graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets with better photocatalytic ability towards the degradation of rhodamine-B dyes

“…5 Therefore, the textile industry and other industries that use dyes and discharge wastewater urgently need more efficient and cost-effective wastewater treatment processes. Currently, various methods applied for treating dye wastewater include adsorption, 6 membrane separation, 7 photocatalytic degradation, 8 and piezoelectric catalytic degradation, 9 and among them photocatalytic degradation has advantages such as high degradation efficiency and low cost. 10,11 Photocatalytic degradation is non-toxic and does not cause secondary pollution, making it an excellent choice for dealing with organic dye waste.…”

Enhanced Piezo‐photocatalytic Performances of AgNbO3 Materials for Dye Decomposition Via Polarization Engineering

“…[34][35][36] It can effectively promote the separation and migration of photo-induced carriers during the photocatalytic process [37] and has been applied in photocatalysis and piezophotocatalysis. [38][39][40][41] There has been some research on enhancing the photocatalytic performance of AgNbO 3 by corona poling. [25] For AgNbO 3 with complicated phase transition, the electric field may lead to its field-induced phase transition, [42] but the research on the microstructure, band structure, and photocatalytic mechanism of AgNbO 3 before and after poling is not systematic enough.…”

“…Corona poling as a typical technique in polarization engineering can align the ferroelectric domains of the ferroelectric materials along the electric field, thereby enhancing their macroscopic polarization and piezoelectric responses [34–36] . It can effectively promote the separation and migration of photo‐induced carriers during the photocatalytic process [37] and has been applied in photocatalysis and piezo‐photocatalysis [38–41] . There has been some research on enhancing the photocatalytic performance of AgNbO 3 by corona poling [25] .…”
