The purpose of this study is to improve the efficiency of decontamination using BaSO4 as a piezocatalyst. Three techniques are employed in this study to enhance the piezocatalytic activity of BaSO4. The first method involves coupling BaSO4 with BaTiO3. The acid red 151 and acid blue 113 decontamination rates improved from 56.7% and 60.9% to 61.3% and 64.4%, respectively, as a result of this strategy. Additionally, the composite of BaSO4 and BaTiO3 was doped with copper, iron, sulfur, and nitrogen. By doping BaTiO3, acid red 151 and acid blue 113 achieved 86.7% and 89.2% efficiency, respectively. Finally, the nanostructures were modified with sucrose. These strategies improved degradation efficiency for acid red 151 and acid blue 113 to 92.9% and 93.3%, respectively. The reusability results showed that the piezo-catalytic activity of the m-S-BaSO4-BaTiO3 catalyst did not show a significant loss after five recycles for the degradation of AB113.
