Abstract
) as photocatalysts but also successfully solves the dead layer problem previously reported in practical applications. In addition, by constructing a heterostructure with graphene, HGSS has great application in the design of controllable ultrathin p-n junctions. Overall, our study not only predicts a series of potential ferroelectric photocatalytic materials, but also provides valuable insights for designing tunable polarized materials and nanoelectronics.
