Electrostatic self-assembled Ag(2)O/TiO(2) nanobelts heterostructure was synthesized via simple physical mixing of Ag(2)O nanoparticles and TiO(2) nanobelts. The morphologies and microstructures of Ag(2)O/TiO(2) nanobelt heterostructure were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. The interface dominated high UV photocatalytic activity
