Manipulating Ferroelectric Polarization and Spin Polarization of 2D CuInP₂S₆ Crystals for Photocatalytic CO₂ Reduction.

ABSTRACT: Manipulating electronic polarizations such as ferroelectric or spin polarizations has recently emerged as an effective strategy for enhancing the efficiency of photocatalytic reactions. This study demonstrates the control of electronic polarizations modulated by ferroelectric and magnetic approaches within a two-dimensional (2D) layered crystal of copper indium thiophosphate (CuInP₂S₆) to boost the photocatalytic reduction of CO₂. We investigate the substantial influence of ferroelectric polarization on the photocatalytic CO₂ reduction efficiency, utilizing the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition and polarization alignment through electrical poling. Additionally, we explore enhancing the CO₂ reduction efficiency by harnessing s
