The targets are micron-sized TiO2 powders and micron-sized Ag powders, TiO2@Ag nanocomposite particles with core-shell structure were synthesized by pulsed laser gas phase evaporation-liquid phase collecting method. The morphology, structure and synthesis mechanism of the samples were studied by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The results show that the pure TiO2 nanoparticles sol was firstly prepared as liquid phase collecting system using gas phase evaporation-liquid phase collecting method; then, the target was changed using Ag, and TiO2 @ Ag nanocomposite particles with core-shell structure, which are spherical or ellipsoidal, were successfully synthesized under certain conditions of laser synthesis parameters; the diameters of most TiO2@Ag nanocomposite particles covering synthesized after 2h range from 15nm to 35nm, the diameters of most TiO2 @Ag nanocomposite particles covering synthesized after 4h range from 25nm to 50nm, and the size of nanocomposite particles increases with the increase of covering synthesis time; TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized previously in liquid phase function as crystallized cores, while Ag atoms and their clusters are adsorbed to TiO2 surfaces and surround the surfaces to form TiO2 @ Ag nanocomposite particles.
