该项目旨在开发钙钛矿基铁电体，用于光催化二氧化碳还原，以生产太阳能燃料。该研究有望揭示铁电极化和光催化行为之间的关系，从而促进太阳能的利用和温室气体的减少。预期的结果包括提供一系列新的化学和结构可控的铁电体和催化反应原型，用于有效的二氧化碳光还原，以及深入了解结构-性能相关性，以指导未来的极性催化剂设计。该项目将在最大限度地减少化石燃料消耗、提高能源安全和扩大清洁能源产业方面发挥重要作用。

This project aims to develop perovskite-based ferroelectrics for photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction to produce solar fuels. It is expected to reveal the relationship of ferroelectric polarisation and photocatalytic behaviour, thereby promoting solar energy utilisation and greenhouse gas reduction. Expected outcomes include delivery of a novel family of chemically and structurally controlled ferroelectrics and catalytic reaction prototypes for efficient carbon dioxide photoreduction, and in-depth understanding of structure-performance correlation to guide future polar catalysts design. This project should provide significant benefits in minimising fossil fuel consumption, increasing energy security, and expanding clean energy industry.
