Fe3O4@ZnO nanospheres were synthesized by a chemical method and characterized using various analytical instruments. Products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectra, X-ray diffraction and vibrating sample magnetometer. The results showed that Fe3O4@ZnO nanospheres exhibited high degree of crystallinity and excellent magnetic properties at room temperature. Photocatalytic investigation of Fe3O4@ZnO core/shell nanospheres was carried out using rhodamine B solution under UV light. Fe3O4@ZnO core/shell nanospheres showed enhanced photocatalytic performance in comparison with the as prepared ZnO nanoparticles. Additionally, the recycling experiment of Fe3O4@ZnO nanospheres had been done, demonstrating that Fe3O4@ZnO nanospheres have high efficiency and stability.
