Abstract

Currently, it is widely reported that the photovoltaic effect in ferroelectric materials can be promoted by the application of a piezoelectric force, an external electric field, and intense light illumination. Here, a semiconducting ferroelectric composition is introduced, (1−<italic>x</italic>) Ba0.06Bi0.47Na0.47TiO3‐<italic>x</italic>MgCoO3 (abbreviated as <italic>x</italic>MgCo, where <italic>x</italic> = 0.02–0.08), synthesized through Mg/Co ions codoping. This process effectively narrows the optical bandgaps to a spectrum of 1.38–3.06 eV. Notably, the system exhibits a substantial increase in short‐circuit photocurrent density (<italic>J</italic>sc), by the synergy of the electric, light, and thermal fields. The <italic>J</italic>sc can still be further enhanced by the extra introduction of a force field. Additionally, the <italic>J</italic>sc also shows an obvious increase after the high field pre‐poling. The generation of a considerable number of oxygen vacancies due to the Co2+/Co3+ mixed valence state (in a 1:3 ratio) contributes to the reduced optimal bandgap. The integration of Mg2+ ion at the A‐site restrains the loss and sustains robust ferroelectricity (<italic>P</italic>r = 24.1 µC cm−2), high polarizability under an electric field, and a significant piezoelectric coefficient (<italic>d</italic>33 = 102 pC N−1). This study provides a novel perspective on the physical phenomena arising from the synergy of multiple fields in ferroelectric photovoltaic materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
