Electric polarization tune enhanced photoelectrochemical performance of visible light active ferroelectric Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 nanostructure photoanode

Dheeraj Kumar et al.

Summary: By tuning the electrical polarization of the film, significantly enhanced photoelectrochemical performance of the visible light active photoanodes of ferroelectric Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 nanostructure has been demonstrated.
