Facile preparation of TiO2-polyvinyl alcohol hybrid nanoparticles with improved visible light photocatalytic activity

- Hybrid TiO2/PVA core/shell nanoparticles were prepared through a two step procedure.
- TiO2-PVA samples were prepared based on different TiO2-PVA weight ratios.
- All samples were characterized using XRD, TEM, FT-IR and BET analysis.
- The photocatalytic performance was evaluated.
