In this study, TiO-CuSe composites were synthesized using a cost-effective and simple chemical method to determine the optimal concentration of CuSe for the efficient degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light. The TiO samples exhibited a mix of rutile and anatase phases, while CuSe formed in a hexagonal phase.
