Catalysis plays a crucial role in all the major applications and challenges in the environment, including energy generation and environmental remediation. Although photocatalysts and electrocatalysts are useful in addressing energy and environmental issues, they have some major drawbacks, such as low efficiency and easy charge recombination which limits their applications. Hence, it is imperative to design and explore new catalytic techniques that include non-photoresponsive catalysts. In this review, the detailed possibilities, characteristics and prospects of non-photoresponsive catalysts, such as piezocatalysts, thermocatalysts, pyrocatalysts, and tribocatalysts along with hybrid catalysts are described. The overall mechanism of each catalytic technique and its applications in different fields such as energy generation, environmental remediation, and carbon dioxide reduction are discussed.
催化作用在环境领域的所有主要应用和挑战中都起着至关重要的作用，包括能源生产和环境修复。尽管光催化剂和电催化剂在解决能源和环境问题方面很有用，但它们存在一些主要缺点，如效率低和电荷容易复合，这限制了它们的应用。因此，设计和探索包括非光响应催化剂在内的新催化技术势在必行。在这篇综述中，描述了非光响应催化剂（如压电催化剂、热催化剂、热解催化剂和摩擦催化剂）以及混合催化剂的详细可能性、特性和前景。讨论了每种催化技术的整体机制及其在能源生产、环境修复和二氧化碳减排等不同领域的应用。
