In this work, the role of crystal facet in piezo-photocatalysis is systematically investigated through experiments and theoretical calculations. BiVO4 (BVO) with different facets are successfully prepared via a hydrothermal method by tuning pH, and their piezocatalytic, photocatalytic and piezo-phot...
