The increase in global energy demand, together with a rise in carbon dioxide (CO2) levels have encouraged research into the reduction of CO2 into useful chemicals and fuels. In this paper, we demonstrate...
This paper combines experimental and modelling studies to provide a detailed examination of the influence of porosity volume fraction and morphology on the polarisation-electric field response of ferroelectric materials. The...
A polarized ferroelectric material can initiate the micro-electrolysis of water molecules which leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in an aqueous solution resulting in selective bacteria killing. This...
