TiO 2 ‐WO 3 hollow spheres were successfully fabricated by a two‐step synthesis method, which combines the polystyrene template‐assisted method and chemical deposition method. Scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer, X‐ray diffractometer used to characterise obtained products. The results indicate that as‐fabricated nanocomposites are double‐shelled spherical structures. photocatalytic properties of products determined degradation rhodamine B aqueous solution under simulated solar irradiation. reveal pure all have superior ability. Compared with P25 nanoparticles spheres, exhibit best performance.
