CityUHK researchers transform vibrations into clean fuels and chemicals through piezosynthesis
HONG KONG , July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- From ocean waves and flowing rivers to the systems used to transport and treat water, vibrations are everywhere. But can vibrations do more than just shake water? A key challenge is preventing the loss of these charges through recombination before they reach surface reaction sites.To overcome this, the team developed a piezoelectric bismuth ferrite-based system for vibration-driven hydrogen production.

HONG KONG , July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- From ocean waves and flowing rivers to the systems used to transport and treat water, vibrations are everywhere. But can vibrations do more than just shake water? Can they split water or drive the production of useful chemicals from water?A research team led by Professor Sai Kishore Ravi from the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has successfully demonstrated how mechanical vibrations can be harnessed to drive the production of useful chemicals from water.The team showcased these breakthroughs in two recent studies: one on vibration-driven hydrogen peroxide generation, published in Nature Communications under the title " Bulk polarization field and interfacial electron sink in MXene-modified…
