Abstract

The sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation process (SR-AOP) is a very powerful tool that generates powerful sulfate

radicals and the associated active oxidizing species for the refractory organic degradation and sterilization. Recently,

piezocatalysis is a viable green and sustainable technology because of its capacity to passively convert mechanical energy into

electrochemical energy making it an effi cient technology for environmental remediation. Since the conventional piezocatalytic

driven advanced oxidation process (Piezo-AOPs) in which hydroxyl (
