研究目的
To propose and construct a self-healing internal electric field for sustainably enhanced photocatalysis, addressing the saturation issues of static internal electric fields and providing experimental evidence on its role in charge separation.
研究成果
The self-healing internal electric field in piezoelectric-photocatalytic composite helical microfibers significantly enhances photocatalytic performance by sustainably promoting charge separation, overcoming saturation issues. This provides a new strategy for photocatalyst design with potential applications in energy and environmental solutions.
研究不足
The piezoelectric potential can be saturated by photogenerated carriers and external charges within about 10-16 minutes, limiting its sustained effect without renewal. The study is focused on specific materials (PVDF/g-C3N4) and may not generalize to other systems. Energy consumption for deformation in other contexts (e.g., ultrasonic) is not addressed.
