The comparison of our study with some remarkable researches in the literature.

Preparation Method Obtained material Remarkable results
He et al.18 Homogenous precipitation Core-shell Fe3O4-TiO2

• Obtained Fe3O4-TiO2 is non-toxic

• Fe3+ could be doped into TiO2 and activate the photocatalytic activation under visible light activation

Sun et al.19 One-step calcination Magnetic Fe3O4-TiO2

• The degradation of organic dye by Fe3O4-TiO2 (Fe/TiO2 ratio: 1/200) was enhanced compared to single Fe3O4 and TiO2

• The synergistic of Fe3O4 and TiO2 could be attributed to the high photocatalytic activity

Zheng et al.12 Liquid phase deposition Waxberry-like microsphere Fe3O4-TiO2

• Diameter: ~500 nm

• Shell thickness: ~10–20 nm

• Remove 40% of MB (10 ppm) after 60 mins under Xenon lamp (300 W)

• Could be recycled after photocatalytic reaction

Stefan et al.13 Ultrasound assisted sol-gel Fe3O4-TiO2: Eu nanocomposite

• Increase of Eu doping decrease the formation of FeTiO3

• Large surface area and mesoporous strcuture

• Remove 85% of RhB (1.0 × 10−5 mol/L) dye after 3 h unter visible light irradiation (400 W halogen lamp)

Alzahani53 Sol-gel Core shell Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 • Under UV light, the photocatalytic performance was higher than commercial TiO2
This study Sol-gel MgAC-Fe3O4/TiO2

The synergistic of Fe3O4 and TiO2 could be attributed to the performances of MgAC-Fe3O4/TiO2

Core-shell structure with Fe3O4 as core and TiO2 at outer layer is suggested.

However, the photocatalytic under visible light should be activated in the near future
