TiO₂-coated triangle Au with a core-shell structure (Au@TiO₂) was synthesized using the sol-gel method. After hydrothermal crystallization, the particle size expanded to 300 nm with crystallization of the shell TiO₂ into a mesoporous anatase phase, while the morphology of the triangle Au particle remained unchanged. The structure and properties of the samples were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), ζ potential, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, photocurrent (i-t) measurements, and methylene blue (MB) photodegradation tests. The results revealed that the photocatalytic degradation rate of crystallized triangle Au@TiO₂ was significantly higher than that of the amorphous material. Specifically, 1 mg·mL^-1 Au@c-TiO₂ achieved complete degradation of 60 mg·L^-1 MB after one hour of visible light irradiation. An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiment was conducted, indicating that ·O₂^- and ·OH are the active species responsible for the degradation process. By combining experimental results with finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) analysis, we proposed a mechanism for the photodegradation process.
