Aqueous-solution-induced reversal of whole film polarization. a Photograph of water treatment process and the corresponding sample size is 10 × 10 mm2 (inset). The polarizations of the whole films reversed to the upward (b) and downward (c) after exposing the film to Milli-Q water and acidic solution, respectively. The corresponding PFM images showing the polarization switching from downward/upward to upward/downward after Milli-Q water (d) and acidic-solution (e) treatments. Scale bar, 2 μm (d, e)
