Abstract

Piezoelectric barium titanate nanoparticles can convert mechanical energy into electrical/chemical energy and catalyze redox reactions, which can be used for mechanotherapy-based treatment of tumors/neurological diseases/bacterial disinfection via the remote use of ultrasound. However, better piezoelectric properties require larger particle sizes (>100 nm), and better cell targeting requires smaller particle sizes (
