Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photo / piezoelectric catalytic materials technology, and more specifically, to a linear polyimide bifunctional photo / piezoelectric catalytic material and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] In clean energy technologies, photocatalysis and piezoelectric catalysis have attracted widespread attention for their ability to convert solar and mechanical energy into chemical energy, respectively. Among the semiconductor materials commonly used in photocatalysis, some are unique in that they are both photocatalysts and piezoelectric catalysts, such as BaTiO3, CdS, ZnO, BiWO3, and MoS2. In recent years, polymer semiconductor materials have emerged as a new class of catalysts due to their abundant Earthly sources, ease of synthesis and processability, tunable electronic and band structures at the molecular level, and high physicochemical stability, and are gradually gaining increasing attention. Current research progress focuses on applications in photocatalysis, primarily using conjugated linear polymers, conjugated microporous polymers, and conjugated organic framework polymers for photocatalytic water splitting to produce hydrogen, photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production, and photocatalytic degradation of environmental pollutants. Reports in the field of piezoelectric catalysis are scarce, and those that exist mainly focus on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).
