Using BaTiO3 as a model ferroelectric material we investigated the influence of the ferroelectric dipole on the photocatalytic activity of a heterogeneous BaTiO3/alpha-Fe2O3 photocatalyst. Two distinct BaTiO3 samples were used: BTO and BTO-A. The latter consists more ferroelectric tetragonal phase and thus stronger ferroelectricity. It was found that under identical experimental conditions, the photodecolourisation rate of a target dye using BTO-A/alpha-Fe2O3 under visible light was 1.3 times that of BTO/alpha-Fe2O3. Photoelectrochemical and photoluminescence analysis confirmed a more effective charge carrier separation in BTO-A/alpha-Fe2O3. Considering solely the photoexcitation of alpha-Fe2O3 in the composite photocatalysts under visible light and the similar microstructures of the two catalysts, we propose that the enhanced decolourisation rate when using BTO-A/alpha-Fe2O3 is due to the improved charge carrier separation and extended charge carrier lifetime arising from an interaction between the ferroelectric dipole and the carriers in alpha-Fe2O3. Our results demonstrate a new process to use a ferroelectric dipole to manipulate the charge carrier transport, overcome recombination, and extend the charge carrier lifetime of the surface material in a heterogeneous catalyst system.
