The development of new technologies depends critically on the ability to control materials properties in new and exciting ways. Modern trends towards miniaturization and efficiency, as well as emerging societal demands for clean energy generation and efficient energy storage, have revealed the need for new materials that can enable next-generation technologies with improved performance. Multiferroic materials (MFs) are among the leading contenders for applications across many of these areas. MFs are defined by the interrelationship between their electronic, magnetic and/or elastic properties. Our recent work has shown that MFs have unique properties with respect to light-to-electrical conversion (photoconversion, as required for solar electric generation) and that MFs decorated with noble metal nanoparticles have enhanced efficiencies for water splitting, a process that generates hydrogen gas from water.

新技术的发展关键取决于以新的和令人兴奋的方式控制材料性能的能力。小型化和高效化的现代趋势，以及对清洁能源发电和高效能源存储的新兴社会需求，揭示了对新材料的需求，这些新材料可以使下一代技术具有更好的性能。多铁性材料（MF）是许多这些领域应用的主要竞争者之一。MF由它们的电子、磁性和/或弹性性质之间的相互关系定义。我们最近的工作表明，MFs在光电转换（太阳能发电所需的光转换）方面具有独特的特性，并且用贵金属纳米颗粒装饰的MFs具有更高的水分解效率，这是一种从水中产生氢气的过程。
