摘要

Environmental pollution, especially water pollution caused by the discharge of organic compounds dyes, seriously affects people’s life and health. Catalytic degradation of dyes in wastewater by utilizing natural energy in a non-polluting, low-cost, and efficient manner is a dream goal for researchers. In particular, the development of piezoelectric catalyst materials for the efficient degradation of pollutants has been a top research priority, which is light-independent and can utilize the mechanical energy present in water flow. In this paper, Ag(I)/BNBT composite nanofibers with different Ag(I) additions were prepared by electrospinning. The micro-morphology, composition, and piezoelectric catalytic performance of the composite nanofibers were investigated. The results showed that the piezoelectric-catalyzed degradation efficiency and degradation rate of Ag(I)/BNBT composite nanofibers for RhB dye reached 59.1% and 1.15 × 10−2 min−1, which were enhanced by 78 and 141.6% compared with that of the matrix fiber BNBT (33.2%, 4.76 × 10−3 min−1), respectively. However, over-increasing the ultrasonic power would cause the composite fiber to produce shielding phenomenon and reduce its piezoelectric catalytic efficiency. It was worth noting that the addition of Ag(I) not only effectively enhanced the piezoelectric output and reduced the charge shielding phenomenon, but also served as a conductive medium to promote charge transfer, which substantially improved the piezoelectric catalytic performance of the material. This indicates that the prepared composite fibers have potential applications in dye wastewater treatment.
