Bi-internal electric field/Schottky barrier integrated in flexible Ag2/BiFe0.9Mn0.1O3@PVDF composite membrane to promote piezocatalytic degradation of tetracycline-hydrochloride antibiotic

Key Points

• Piezocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride achieves significant enhancement due to integrated bi-internal electric field.
• The composite membrane demonstrates over 80% degradation in 120 minutes, indicating strong efficacy for environmental applications.
• Integrated electric fields within Schottky barrier structures assist in the effective piezocatalytic process within the composite membrane.
• This approach highlights the potential for improving antibiotic removal using novel flexible material combinations.
