TiO2/Fe2O3 nanocomposites with different morphologies were prepared by precipitation separation method combined with sol?gel method using Fe(NO3)3?9H2O and tetrabutyl titanate as iron and titanium sources, and HF, HAc, NH4F, NH3?H2O, H2O2 as morphology control agents, respectively. The structure and morphology of the TiO2/Fe2O3 samples were characterized by X?ray powder diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and the degradation performance of the TiO2/Fe2O3 nanocomposites for methylene blue under UV?light irradiation condition was investigated. The results show that the NH3?H2O?TiO2/Fe2O3 nanocomposites prepared with NH3?H2O as the morphology control agent have the best degradation effect on MB, with a degradation rate of 82.9%, which is approximately 1.00, 1.10, 1.14, 1.15, 1.56, 3.57, 12.95 times larger than that of HF?TiO2/Fe2O3 (82.5%), H2O2?TiO2/Fe2O3 (75.7%), NH4F?TiO2/Fe2O3 (72.9%), HAc?TiO2/Fe2O3 (71.8%), TiO2 (53.1%), Fe2O3 (23.1%) and blank (6.4%) samples, respectively. This is attributed to the synergistic effect of its large specific surface area, spindle morphology, highest crystallinity and suitable heterojunction structure.
