Abstract Piezocatalysis and piezo‐photocatalysis technology is a continuously developing catalytic technology based on the piezoelectric effect of catalysts, which breaks the barrier between mechanical and chemical energy. The piezoelectric polarization field formed by the mechanical deformation of piezoelectric materials is proven to effectively manipulate band structures, improve the separation of electron‐hole pairs and enhance the catalytic activity, thus alleviating energy crises and environmental issues. Herein, this review first introduces the technology of piezocatalysis and piezo‐photocatalysis, comprehensively summarizes the synthesis methods of piezo(photo)catalysis materials, and analyzes and discusses the measures to optimize the performance of piezo(photo)catalysts. The following systematically summarizes the characteristics and development of the current main piezo(photo)catalytic systems, and discusses the application of first principles calculations in piezo(photo)catalysis in combination with practical researches. Subsequently, the main application progress of piezo(photo)catalysis in environmental remediation, energy conversion, and biomedical therapy fields is presented. In the end, the current challenges, development direction, and future prospects are prospected.
