High-efficiency RhB dye degradation using β-FeOOH nanorods <i>via</i> tribocatalysis.

ABSTRACT: Tribocatalysis respresents a transformative approach with significant implications for electrochemical innovations, sustainable energy technologies, and the efficient remediation of water contaminants. The practical implementation of such systems requries catalysts that combine superior performance with economic and enviromental viability. In this study, we investigate the tribocatalytic activity of β-FeOOH nanorods, systematically examining the effects of key morphological features, including diameter, surface area, and surface roughness. Our results reveal that the nanorods diameter critically influences catalytic performance, with the optimized (β-FeOOH-100 °C) catalyst exhibiting outstanding activity under ultrasonic vibration. This catalyst enables rapid degradation of rhodamine B (Rh
