In this report, a three-dimensional (3-D) network of core–shell TiO2 (P25)–mesoporous SiO2 (P25@mSiO2) nanocomposites was prepared via a controllable surfactant-assisted sol–gel method. The nanocomposites were investigated for photocatalytic reactions of organic dye degradation, water splitting, and...
