A process to fabricate a kind of novel micro–nano scaled TiO2/CuS composite fibers by electrospinning technique and chemical precipitation method was developed in the present study. The microstructures and photoelectronic properties of the fibers were characterized using SEM, FT-IR, UV–vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results revealed that the TiO2portion in the composite fibers was a mixture rutile and anatase phases while TiO2and CuS had been fully composite. The fibers had smooth surface with a diameter of 50–300nm. Comparing with pure TiO2fiber, the TiO2/CuS micro–nano-scaled composite fibers exhibited a strong absorption in the visible light region and the efficiency of photo-induced charge separation were enhanced. This composite system is of widely potential applications in the areas such as solar cells, supercapacity, photocatalysis, etc.
