  • A type-Ⅱ heterojunction composite catalyst (ZnO/BNC) was designed and constructed based on ZnO and Bi4NbO8Cl (BNC), aiming to effectively promote carrier separation and enhance catalytic activity through heterojunction interface engineering. ZnO/BNC was successfully synthesized via an optimized impregnation-calcination method and systematically characterized using various techniques to determine its crystal structure, band structure, and piezoelectric properties. The results indicate that the Type-Ⅱ band alignment formed between ZnO and BNC, coupled with the synergistic effect of the spontaneously formed built-in electric field at the interface, significantly facilitates the separation and migration of electron-hole pairs under piezoelectric excitation. Under ultrasonic irradiation, the optimized samples ZnO/BNC-2 achieved an 87% degradation rate of methyl orange (MO) within 90 min. Its piezocatalytic degradation rate constant was ca. 7.3 times that of pure BNC and ca. 5.4 times that of pure ZnO, demonstrating excellent piezocatalytic performance.
