Piezocatalytic therapy is an emerging therapeutic strategy for eradicating drug-resistant bacteria, but suffers from insufficient piezoelectricity and catalytic active site availability. Herein, Bi-vacancies (BiV) and corona polarization were introduced to BiOBr nanosheets to create a BiOBr-BiVP nanoplatform for piezocatalytic antibacterial therapy. This meticulously tailored strategy strengthens the built-in electric field of nanosheets, enhancing piezoelectric potential and charge density and boosting charge separation and migration efficiency. Meanwhile, BiV adeptly adjust the band structure and increase reaction sites. Ultrasonication of nanosheets continuously enables the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and CO, facilitating almost 100% broad-spectrum antibacterial efficacy. BiOBr-BiVP nanosheets demonstrate full bacterial eradication and accelerate wound healing through simultaneous regulation of inflammatory factors, facilitation of collagen deposition, and promotion of angiogenesis. Overall, this ultrasonic-triggered piezocatalytic nanoplatform combines BiV and the corona polarization strategy, providing a robust strategy for amplifying piezocatalytic mediated ROS/CO generation for drug-resistant bacterial eradication.

Catalytic oxidation of HCHO is often limited by the serious recombination of carriers in photocatalysts and the high cost of thermal catalysts based on precious metals. Herein, Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 nanosheets enriched with bismuth vacancies were synthesized and decorated by UiO-66-NH 2 to obtain VBiTO@NU-66 for efficient removal of HCHO via piezocatalytic oxidation. The Bismuth vacancies in VBiTO enhanced the asymmetry of the crystal structure and introduced the atomic-level channels for energy and electron transfer. After loading UiO-66-NH 2 , the adsorption ability was substantially improved by the formation of Schiff-base covalent bonds between HCHO and –NH 2 . Under the joint action of adsorption and piezocatalysis, piezocatalytic oxidation rate of 300 mg/m 3 HCHO by VBiTO@NU-66 was as high as 95.1% within 3 h, which was 6 times of that of pure BiTO nanosheets. This work offers a novel tactics for the efficient purification of gaseous environmental pollutants.
