The electrospinning method coupled with a chemical reaction is employed to fabricate a TiO₂/CdS composite fiber. The concentration of CdS can be changed by varying the amount of CdCl₂ present as the crystal seed in the precursor sol. The DRUV-Vis spectra results show that the TiO₂/CdS composite fiber absorbs both in the UV and visible regions. The results of TEM, XRD, PL, CLSM and Raman spectra also confirm the formation of CdS in TiO₂ fibers.
