Abstract:
This study delves into improving the photo-piezocatalytic efficiency of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a two-dimensional piezoelectric material recognized for its high catalytic potential. We focus on optimizing MoS2′s catalytic capabilities through the incorporation of cobalt (Co) in three unique forms: surface regulation (Co-loaded MoS2: Co/MoS2), interface regulation (CoS2/MoS2 heterostructures), and structural regulation (Co-doped MoS2: Co-MoS2). These modifications are instrumental in enhancing the material's redox activity, resilience to piezoelectric stress, and charge carrier efficiency, critical factors for catalytic performance. The catalytic properties of each Co-modified MoS2 variant were rigorously evaluated through antibiotic degradation tests, with experiments conducted under varying environmental conditions to simulate real-world applications. Notably, Co/MoS2 demonstrated relatively excellent catalytic activity, achieving nearly complete degradation of tetracycline when subjected to photo-piezoelectric synergistic conditions. Supporting this, density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that Co loading amplifies the piezoelectric properties of MoS2 by increasing its dipole moment under tensile strain, further enhancing its catalytic effectiveness. This study presents an innovative strategy for elevating the catalytic performance of 2D photo-piezoelectric catalysts, with implications for their future use in environmental remediation and sustainable energy solutions. © 2025
