| contents | Bulk photovoltaic effect in noncentrosymmetric materials is a fundamental and significant property that holds potential for high-efficiency energy harvesting, such as photoelectric application and photocatalysis. Here, based on first principles calculation, we explore the electronic structure, dielectric property, shift current, and photocatalytic performance of novel nitride perovskite LaWN3. Our calculations show that LaWN3 possesses large dielectric constants and shift current. The shift current can be enhanced by considering spin-orbit coupling and is switchable by ferroelectric polarization, which suggests LaWN3 is a promising candidate for logic and neuromorphic photovoltaic devices driven by ferroelectric polarization. Additionally, LaWN3 shows advanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction as a photocatalyst. Especially, the (110) surface represents low surface energy and Gibbes free energy, implying that the (110) surface may be exposed to the active surface. Our finding highlights potential applications of novel polar nitride perovskite LaWN3 in various fields not only photoelectric devices but also photocatalysis. |
