The structure, composition and morphology of the composite were characterized by XRD, EDS, FETEM and FESEM, which showed the prepared TiO2/ZnSn(OH)6 had a unique morphology of hollow cubic nano-ZnSn(OH)6 attached with rutile TiO2 nanoparticles. The results of photocatalytic activity measurement indicated the photocatalytic activity of the prepared composite was better than that of nano-ZnSn(OH)6. This study may be helpful for the design and fabrication of functional comoosite materials.展开更多
