Outline

Development of designed novel catalysis assisted by ferroelectric polarization fluctuation is proposed. Charge fluctuation of ferroelectric materials appeared in the paraelectric phase can assist electron injection into the chemical reaction, realizing the catalytic function. The project aims to provide the method of designed ubiquitous catalyst using nanometal-ferroelectric junctions.
