Abstract
Monodispersed ferroelectric BaTiO3 nanoparticles are synthesized as a model system to investigate the effect of ferroelectricity on a photocatalytic process. The results demonstrate that ferroelectricity can directly affect the photocatalytic activity due to promotion of the separation of photo-excited carriers by spontaneous polarization in ferroelectric materials. Moreover, Ag nanoparticles are attached on these BaTiO3 to further improve the photocatalytic property.Entities:
