Photocatalytic active core-shell nanoparticles presented in this work were synthesized by utilizing well known synthesis methods such as heterocoagulation, sol-gel process and polymer adsorption. The charge of the particles was determined by zeta-potential measurement and determination of the streaming current. In addition, the morphology of the particles was investigated by using electron microscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized particles was monitored by the degradation of rhodamine B as model organic compound. Therefore, the catalyst was added to an aqueous dye solution and the solution was irradiated with artificial sunlight. The degradation itself was monitored by UV/Vis spectroscopy and determination of the TOC.
