Dynamic Internal Field Engineering in BaTiO3 TiO2 Nanostructures For Photocatalytic Dye Degradation
Dynamic Internal Field Engineering in BaTiO3 TiO2 Nanostructures For Photocatalytic Dye Degradation
Photocatalytic dye degradation is crucial for waste water treatment. BaTiO3-TiO2 nanostructures taking advantage of
spontaneous polarization-induced electric fields are a promising solution. Let's explore the dynamic internal field
engineering approach.
