Ferroelectric BaTiO 3 was combined with Ag nanoparticles for piezocatalytic and photocatalytic viewpoints. Microstructural characterization (X‐ray diffraction and electron microscopy images) revealed that the Ag was successfully bounded with BaTiO 3 . X‐ray photoelectron spectrum also confirmed the presence of Ag. Further, its performance was examined for dye degradation under visible light (for photocatalysis) and ultrasonication (for piezocatalysis). In both the catalysis processes, there was a significant improvement in Ag‐loaded BaTiO 3 sample‐based catalytic reactions. Catalytic performance was evaluated for multiple cycles and was found consistent. Scavenger tests were also performed to understand catalytic reactions.
