Ferroelectric nanomaterials offer the promise of switchable electronic properties at surface, with implications for photo- and electrocatalysis. Studies to date on effect ferroelectric surfaces in electrocatalysis have been primarily limited nanoparticle systems where complex interfaces arise. Here, we use MBE-grown epitaxial BaTiO3 thin films atomically sharp as model demonstrate polarization structure, intermediate binding energy, electrochemical activity toward hydrogen evolution reaction...
Abstract Although nanostructured TiO 2 layers have been widely prepared by anodization, thin films with thicknesses under 1 μ m, over substrate other than Ti foils, structures beyond the nanopores, had remained a challenge. In this work, such were synthesized anodization of deposited sputtering on FTO/glass substrates. Anodization was performed in an electrolyte based 0.6 wt% NH 4 F, graphite cathode and application 30 V during lapses ranging from 3 to 14 min. The amorphous acquired crystal...
