Summary:We report the fabrication of one-dimensional TiO2–graphene nanocomposite by a facile and one-step method of electrospinning. The unique nanostructured composite showed a significant enhancement in the photovoltaic and photocatalytic properties in comparison to TiO2 as demonstrated in dye-sensitized solar cells and photodegradation of methyl orange.
