Hydrothermal method was adapted for the preparation of TiO₂ - ZnO nanocomposite using a template of titanium glycolate spheres which was synthesized by the reaction of Orthotitaniumtetraisopropoxide and Ethylene glycol. The TiO₂- ZnO composite with the average size 500 nm was confirmed by XRD, XPS, SEM and EDS.
