Developing a ferroelectric nanohybrid for enhanced photocatalysis.

We develop a ferroelectric nanohybrid that improves photocatalytic efficiency by reducing the recombination of holes and electron charge carriers. In particular, the size of uniformly dispersed ferroelectric BaTiO3 in the nanohybrid reaches the critical size of a monodomain, which avoids the need for a poling process for switching the ferroelectric polarization.
