Enhanced solar light absorption and photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical properties have been achieved in black BaTiO3 with a unique core/shell structure (crystalline BaTiO3@amorphous BaTiO3−x) using an Al-reduction method. This finding may open a new avenue to tune the inert ferroelectric materials toward excellent photocatalysts for advanced applications.
