Tuning piezoelectric driven photocatalysis by La-doped magnetic BiFeO3-based multiferroics for water purification

Multiferroic materials have attracted increasing attention for developing multi-effect coupling between different physical properties and exploring the possibility of environmental application. In this work, La doped bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3)-based multiferroics (La-BFOs) were synthesized to achieve strong magnetic response and high piezo-photocatalytic activity. When applying solar light and mechanical vibration on La-BFOs dispersing in the...
