Introduction:
Since the discovery of the Rochelle salt one century ago, ferroelectric materials have aroused extensive attention due to their strong response to various external fields such as electricity, force, heat, magnetism and light. Because of ferroelectric materials’ excellent dielectric, piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties, modern ferroelectric devices are not only widely used in the field of information, but also blooming in the fields of environmental protection (electric card refrigeration, photocatalysis, piezoelectric catalysis, pyroelectric catalysis, etc.) and energy (solar cells, high-power energy storage, abnormal photovoltaic, etc.) in recent years. The precise control of the chemical compositions and domain structures of ferroelectric materials and the research on the intrinsic relationship of "compositions/microstructures, boundary conditions/interface effects, as well as polarization characteristics" will help to promote their innovative application of ferroelectric materials in the field of environment and energy. In order to promote academic exchanges, the Journal of Advanced Dielectrics (JAD) plans to launch a special issue of "Applications of ferroelectric materials in the fields of environment and energy" on Volume 14 Issue 3 in 2024. High-level research papers and reviews are now globally solicited.
The scope of the special issue includes (but not limited to):
- Dielectric, piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties of ferroelectric materials
- Compositions/microstructures, boundary conditions/interface effect and polarization characteristics of ferroelectric materials
- Electric card, thermal card, photocatalysis, piezoelectric catalysis, pyroelectric catalysis and other effects of ferroelectric materials and their applications in the field of energy and environmental protection
- Abnormal photovoltaic effect and dielectric energy storage properties of ferroelectric materials and their applications in advanced energy equipment
