The development of novel piezoelectric catalysts against harsh conditions is indeed crucial for improving the piezo-catalytic degradation efficiency of colored organic dyes in wastewater. In this work, 6H-SiC nanoparticles (NPs) are utilized to piezo-catalytic degrade rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene...
