Although ferroelectrics have potential applications in photocatalysis due to their highly efficient charge separation, their mechanism of charge separation is still unknown. A ferroelectric Sr0.7Ba0.3Nb2O6 （SBN‐70） semiconductor with a low ferro‐paraelectric phase transition （65℃） was studied. The photocatalytic activity for H2 production by ferroelectric and paraelectric SBN‐70 was examined. The spontaneous polarization in the ferroelectric phase strongly affected the photocata‐lytic performance and parallel ferroelectric domains significantly promoted photogenerated charge separation to result in better photocatalytic H2 production. This knowledge provides an important basis for the fabrication of ferroelectric photocatalysts with improved charge separation ability.
