Abstract

Piezocatalysis is a direct method for converting mechanical vibration into chemical energy. Herein, NiTiO3 is used in the piezocatalytic hydrogen evolution field for the first time. The noncentral symmetry of NiTiO3 is enhanced by doping with large radius elements. It is demonstrated that when a metal element replaces the sites of nickel, it results in lattice distortion and a higher piezoelectric response. In particular, Cd-doped NiTiO3 exhibits the highest H2 generation rate (1.52 mmol g-1 h-1), which is 13 times that of original NiTiO3.
