The achievement of highly active and stable piezocatalysts is still challenging for the efficient transformation of mechanical energy to chemical energy. Herein various SnOxHyspecies were prepared by a simple precipitation–thermal treatment method and applied for the piezocatalytic degradation of tricyclazole. It is found that the catalytic activity depended on the thermal treatment and follows the order SnO(OH)2(80 °C) > SnO2.55H1.1(200 °C) > SnO2.3H0.6(300 °C) > SnO2.22H0.24(400 °C) > SnO2(500 °C) > rutile SnO2(800 °C). SnO(OH)2(80 °C) boosted the degradation of tricyclazole and the reaction constant reached as high as 0.0354 min−1, 7.1 fold that of SnO2(800 °C). The differences among these SnOxOHypiezocatalysts mainly stemmed from the dissimilarity of the relative content of SnO(OH)2. In addition to the Sn–O piezoelectric motif, SnO(OH)2had rich hydrogen bond networks, which work like molecular springs under external pressure. Due to such a special structure, SnO(OH)2had not only a super high piezoelectric constant (d33) of 409.1 pm V−1among the currently reported piezomaterials, but also a 0.49 eV-higher valence band than SnO2, being beneficial to the generation of stronger oxidative OH. This is the first example of inorganic hydrogen-bonded piezomaterials, which opens a new window to develop advanced piezocatalysts for highly efficient degradation of refractory pollutants by piezocatalysis.
