Abstract
, which is ∼9-fold and ∼134-fold higher than those of untreated PVDF and previously reported PVDF-based piezoelectric catalysts, respectively. This work paves the way for the development of highly efficient PVDF-based piezoelectric catalysts, thereby offering valuable insights for the advancement of mechanically driven catalysis in the environmental, energy, and chemical sectors.
