The prepare WO3 -TiO2 nanocomposite material has been successfully achieved precipitation route and sonication technique. The experimental results expose that 400 °C of WO3–TiO2 nanocomposite material exhibited the higher photoatalytic activity for the degradation of azo dye Acid block 1(AB 1) under UV-Light. This nanocomposite material was characterized by High-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) with elementary dispersive X-ray (EDX), High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), XRD analysis, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), UV–Vis DRS and BET. The HR-SEM images reveal that most nanoflower are linked together by an edge-to-flat-surface combination. EDX studies that Ti, O and W are in higher mediation. The HR-TEM images indicate nanorod structure. As a reaction of this nanoparticle was found to be stable and reusable. This nanoparticle was antibacterial activity and electrochemical activity showed highest activity by WO3–TiO2 compared that of TiO2 nanocomposite material was reported.
