N2 - A facile and efficient approach for the fabrication of Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 nanocomposites with a good core-shell structure has been demonstrated. The approach employed involved the coating of successive titania shell on Fe 3 O 4 core using a mixed solvent method with the catalysis of ammonia followed by the crystallization of TiO 2 through solvothermal method. The as-obtained core-shell structure was composed of a central Fe 3 O 4 core with a strong response to external fields, whereas the outer titanium oxide coating was useful for the degradation of organic contaminants. The results showed that Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 nanocomposites exhibited high degree of crystallinity, excellent magnetic properties at room temperature. Furthermore, the as-prepared Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 nanocomposites exhibited good photocatalytic activity toward the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) solution, which meant that they can be used as efficient and conveniently recoverable photocatalysts. In addition, the mechanism of coating by ammonia catalysis was also investigated.
