Abstract: TiO2/CoFe2O4 composite nanoparticles with a core–shell structure have been obtained. The core CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via co-precipitation method, and the shell TiO2 nanocrystals were derived via sol–gel technology followed by heat-treatment at 450 °C. The morphology and the crystalline structure of composite nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The as-prepared composite particles can be utilized as a magnetic photocatalyst, which can be fluidized and recovered by an applied magnetic field enhancing both the separation and mixing efficiency for recyclable fluids. Magnetic properties and photocatalytic activities of these powders have been evaluated. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
