A novel core-shell TiO₂@ZnIn₂S₄ composite has been synthesized successfully by a simple and flexible hydrothermal route using TiO₂ as precursors. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra and transmission electron microscopy. The photocatalytic properties of samples were tested by degradation of aqueous methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. It was found that the as-synthesized TiO₂@ZnIn₂S₄ photocatalyst was more efficient than TiO₂ and ZnIn₂S₄ in the photocatalytic degradation of MB. Moreover, TEM images confirmed the TiO₂@ZnIn₂S₄ nanoparticles possessed a well-proportioned core-shell morphology.
