The oriented growth of BiOIO₃ single-crystal nanostrips along the [001] direction, ensuing substantial well-aligned IO₃ polar units, renders a large enhancement for the macroscopic polarization electric field, which is capable of driving the rapid separation and migration of charges from bulk to surface. Meanwhile the introduction of surface OVs establishes a local electric field for charge migration to catalytic sites on the surface of BiOIO₃ nanostrips. Highly polarized BiOIO₃ nanostrips with ample OVs demonstrate outstanding CO₂ reduction activity for CO production with a rate of 17.33 μmol g^-1 h^-1 (approximately ten times enhancement) without any sacrificial agents or cocatalysts, being one of the best CO₂ reduction photocatalysts in the gas-solid system reported so far. This work provides an integrated solution to governing charge movement behavior on the basis of collaborative polarization from bulk and surface.]]> Fri 22 Jul 2022 13:41:21 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41820 Fri 12 Aug 2022 12:52:30 AEST ]]>
