About this Research Topic
Nanogenerator technology has attracted recent attention as an applied chemistry technology in recent years in the field of chemistry, because it involves issues such as the structure of matter and chemical reactions. In catalysis, Piezocatalysis has gradually attracted the interest of researchers owing to their excellent ability to improve the separation and migration of photoelectrons and holes, while the contact electro-catalytic derived from contact electrification as a ubiquitous phenomenon between various interfaces has a wider choice of materials, which is scientifically important to the field of cutting-edge catalytic research. Nanogenerators, on the other hand, also have important potentials in chemical sensing and other areas because of their environmentally friendly, flexible design and high sensitivity.
This Research Topic intends to present the cutting-edge of piezo-phototronic with potential translational values, as well as latest applications of nanogenerators in chemistry. The studies will contribute to the first-hand data in this field, providing a good reference for the application of piezo-phototronic and nanogenerators in chemistry. This collection also encourages scientists to develop surface/interface engineering of materials, such as expanding the application scenarios of nanogenerators by modifying the surface of materials, or designing the properties of piezoelectric materials through surface modification.
This Research Topic is an international and interdisciplinary forum on valuable issues facing the application of piezo-phototronic and nano-generator in the field of chemistry. We sincerely welcome high-quality original research and review papers addressing this topic. Possible research themes include, but are not limited to:
• Piezocatalytic and piezo-photocatalytic, including catalytic mechanism, improvement of catalyst preparation methods, and catalyst design;
• Contact electro-catalytic, including the mechanism, catalytic synthesis applications, etc;
• Nanogenerators for chemical sensing applications;
• Surface/interface engineering of nanogenerators.
