Floatable Porous BCZT@TPU Piezocatalytic Gels for Water Purification and Hydrogen Evolution

Abstract

A floatable porous BCZT@TPU piezocatalytic gel with good wettability and high piezoelectric response was fabricated. The self-floating design enables facile recovery and prevents secondary contamination, while achieving 87.1% degradation efficiency and 2.26 μmol/h hydrogen evolution rate, demonstrating promising application prospects in water purification and clean energy production.
