Conventional NO gas generation based on l-arginine (l-Arg) is usually dependent on HO and O, both of which are very limited within the tumor microenvironment, thus greatly limiting l-Arg's therapeutic effect. Herein, a novel nanoplatform for efficiently triggering NO production based on ultrasound-induced piezocatalysis was developed, which was fabricated by coating amphiphilic poly-l-arginine (DSPE-PEG-Arg, DPA) on the piezoelectric material of barium titanate (BTO). The resulting BTO@DPA nanoparticles can efficiently generate HO, O, and O via ultrasound-induced piezocatalysis based on BTO and oxidize the surface arginine to produce NO, which can even further interact with the reactive oxygen species (ROS) to produce more reactive peroxynitrite, thus inducing serious tumor cell apoptosis both in hypoxia and normoxia.

Nitric oxide (NO) is drawing widespread attention in treating pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) as a safe and therapeutically efficient technique through modulating the dense fibrotic stroma in the tumor microenvironment to enhance drug penetration. Considerable NO nanogenerators and NO releasing molecules have been developed to shield the systemic toxicity caused by free diffusion of NO gas. However, on-demand controlled release of NO and chemotherapy drugs at tumor sites remains a problem limited by the complex and dynamic tumor microenvironment.

Hydrogen can contribute significantly to the energy mix of the near future, as it is an attractive replacement for fossil fuels due to its high energy density and low greenhouse gas emission. A fascinating approach is to use the polarization change of a ferroelectric due to an applied stress or temperature change to achieve piezo- or pyro-catalysis for both H generation and wastewater treatment. We exploit low Curie temperature (T) ferroelectrics for polarization-driven electrochemical reactions, where the large changes in polarization and high activity of a ferroelectric near its T provides a novel avenue for such materials.
