Citation
For the development of polarisation photocatalysis using spontaneous electric fields in polar materials to mitigate charge carrier recombination, promoting commercialisation of photocatalytic technology.
A team from RMIT University in Australia, working with worldwide collaborators, has pioneered a new field of manipulating polar materials as high-performance photocatalysts for water splitting, carbon dioxide reduction, and nitrogen fixation, denoted as 鈥楶olarisation Photocatalysis鈥�.
