Fe⁰/PTFE Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Ultrafast Dye and Antibiotic Degradation.

ABSTRACT: Triboelectric catalysis is a new technology that converts mechanical energy to chemical energy. This study presents a novel efficient triboelectric catalytic design based on iron (Fe⁰) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The tribocatalytic effect was evaluated by degrading methyl orange (MO), crystal violet (CV), and tetracycline (TC). The degradation efficiency can reach 95, 97, and 93% within 24 min, respectively, and the kinetic constant K of CV was as high as 0.1460 min^-1. The comparison with the stirring experiment showed that the friction catalytic effect between Fe⁰ and PTFE was significantly enhanced under ultrasonic irradiation. Furthermore, the triboelectric effect is used to provide simplicity and strong triboelectric catalytic activity of
