Synthesis of Au@Bi6Fe2Ti3O18 nanofibers and the corona-poling enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalysis

Abstract Mesoporous ferroelectric Bi 6 Fe 2 Ti 3 O 18 (BFTO) nanofibers with diameters of 100–150 nm are synthesized through electrospinning following by optimal calcination. The load of Au nanoparticles, as well as the corona poling, has greatly improved the photocatalysis performance, demonstrating the advantage of ferroelectricity for photocatalysis applications.
