摘要

A waste polystyrene (WPS) based 0.5Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3-0.5(Ba0.7Sr0.3)TiO3 (BZT-BST) composite film was fabricated by dissolving WPS in chloroform and incorporating BZT-BST at varying loadings of 10%, 20%, and 30 wt%. The structural and morphological properties of the resulting composite films were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). By analysing the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) solution, the composite films’ piezocatalytic activity was determined. The film containing 30 wt% BZT-BST demonstrated the highest efficiency, achieving 95% degradation of a 5 mg/L RhB solution within 3 h. Additionally, key operational parameters influencing decolorization efficiency such as the BZT-BST loading, initial dye concentration, dye volume, and catalyst recyclability were systematically investigated. Radical scavenging experiments revealed that hydroxyl (.OH) and superoxide (O₂.−) radicals were the dominant reactive species responsible for the dye decomposition.
