Musculoskeletal disorders pose a significant global health burden, necessitating innovative strategies for tissue repair and regeneration. Low-dimensional piezoelectric materials, characterized by their nanoscale dimensions and unique electromechanical coupling properties, have emerged as promising candidates for addressing these challenges. This review synthesizes advances in the application of low-dimensional piezoelectric materials (including 0D nanoparticles, 1D nanowires/nanofibers, and 2D nanosheets) across musculoskeletal tissues (including articular cartilage, bone, skeletal muscle and ligaments/tendons) in the past five years. Key strategies involve leveraging piezoelectric scaffolds, hydrogels, and nanocomposites to mimic native tissue microenvironments, promote cell differentiation and regeneration, enhance mechanotransduction, and provide self-powered electrical stimulation. Challenges such as material biocompatibility, long-term stability, and clinical scalability are discussed, alongside future directions like multimodal tissue regeneration and wearable piezoelectric devices for personalized medicine. This work underscores the transformative potential of low-dimensional piezoelectric materials in musculoskeletal regenerative medicine.

Driven by the urgent need for a green, safe, and cost-effective approach to producing H and HO-both highly valuable in green energy and environmental protection fields-piezocatalysis, which converts mechanical energy into valuable chemicals, has emerged as a promising solution. However, current catalyst systems face challenges due to the need for materials with both a strong piezoelectric effect and favorable catalytic activity. Herein, the construction of an oxidized carbon nitride (g-CN) matrix anchored with TiO nanoparticles via alkaline hydrothermal treatment is reported.

Piezoelectric phononic-crystal plates, structured on their surface with metallic strips introducing electric-circuit loads, exhibit a tunable frequency-dispersion behaviour, nondestructively controlled in real time. Under an appropriate choice of boundary conditions through these loads, obeying a space-time propagation rule, it is demonstrated experimentally that these systems support nonreciprocal propagation of Lamb-like guided modes in their interior. The observations combined with numerical calculations confirm a broadband translation of the dispersion curves in the frequency-wavenumber space depending on the modulation speed.

Topological polar textures in ferroelectrics have attracted significant interest for their potential applications in energy-efficient and high-density data storage and processing. Among these, polar merons and antimerons are predicted in strained and twisted bilayers of inversion symmetry broken systems. However, experimental observation of these polar textures within twisted two-dimensional van der Waals materials remains elusive.

Halogenometallate hybrids have garnered significant research interest for their unique structural properties, making them promising candidates for practical applications. However, due to preparation challenges and stability issues, molecular-based materials with ferroelectric properties are needed. Herein, zero-dimensional (0D) ABX-type halogenozincate hybrids, (CHNR)ZnCl (R = H for 1; methyl for 2; ethyl for 3, n-propyl for 4, and n-butyl for 5), are synthesized.
